Semper Fi, fellow Leathernecks!

...If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes
They will find the streets are guarded
By UNITED STATES MARINES!

Oooh - RAH!

Ha, but they will be carried there by the Navy.

Semper Fi Marines, and Happy Birthday.

...And carried there rather quickly, I'd say:

A friend of mine, who also served on a US nuke carrier (Enterprise), once told me they did a "high-speed deployment" from Mayport to the Persian Gulf.

The operative words being "high-speed".

Wanna guess how long it took them to get there?


- ???????? -


Try "ten days".

Across the Atlantic, through the Mediterranean, down the Red Sea, around Yemen and Oman, and up the Gulf. In ten days.

Amazing...
