Marine Career vs Navy Career

MARINE CAREER VS NAVY CAREER...









An old Navy Chief and an old Marine Gunny were sitting at the
VFW arguing about who'd had the tougher career.
I did 30 years in the Corps,' the Marine declared proudly, and
fought in three of my country's wars. Fresh out of boot camp I hit the
beach at Okinawa ,clawed my way up the blood-soaked sand, and eventually
took out anentire enemy machine gun nest with a single grenade.

As a sergeant, I fought in Korea alongside GeneralMacarthur We
pushed the enemy inch by bloody inch all the way up to the Chinese
border, always under a barrage of artillery and small arms fire.
Finally, as a gunnysergeant, I did three consecutive combat
tours in Vietnam . We humped through the mud and razor grass for 14
hours a day, plagued by rain and mosquitoes, ducking under sniper fire
by day and mortar fire all night. In a firefight, we'd fire until our
arms ached and our guns were empty, then we charge the enemy with
bayonets'.

'Ah', said the Sailor with . 'You lucky ba*****, all shore duty, huh?

Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, enlisted in the Marines.

On his first day in basic training, the Marine Corps issued him a comb.

That afternoon the base barber sheared off all his hair.

On his second day, he was issued Herman a toothbrush.

That afternoon the Navy dentist yanked seven of his teeth.

On the third day, he issued him a jock strap.

The MPs have been looking for Herman for 51 years.
