ha, ha. good read.
when i was of in the wonderful land of afghanistan for afew (11) months we were stationed on a base controlled by the army/air force. there were only about 150 of us marines around and we were the only ones on base. we clashed with the army and air force almost daily. all the NATO forces from other countrys loved us though.
the biggest clash was on saluting policys, marines don't salute in combat zones. the army air force does. the marines don't salute in PT gear or any other time we aren't wearing a cover. the army salutes in bald heads any time. we didn't salute our owner officers in combat why would i salute yours? eventually the base general ordered our CO to make us salute. we responded by forming "salute trains" when ever we would walk around in groups. a nice line, everyone 5 paces apart so we could salute individually instead of as a group. we had some of those army officers flapping like birds on take off...good times.
sorry Doc
