Got an email to my school account from a Marine recruiter today. It gave me quite the chuckle. Here's the first sentence:
My name is Captain James Butters. I am the Officer Selection Officer for the United States Marine Corps out of Ann Arbor, MI. My job is to screen, select, and train potential Marine Corps Officers for Officer Candidates School.
I could not stop picturing Butters as a Marine.

I did think to myself, "Where was this letter back in 91?"

62 yo former Marine sets planking record.

Just guess how long he did it before you click.

I know that doing planks for a minute burns your core. So this being a world record time, it'll be something ridiculous like an hour.

Like I said, something ridiculous.

March 18, 1991, I checked into Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, and stood on yellow footprints.

No March 18 has passed since then that I did not consider it.

February 5th, 1991, I checked into Lackland AFB, San Antonio and got my head shaved.

You're nothing but a copy cat. :D

Ha, you also joined during Desert Storm, and then the whole war was over before you got done with school.

Very true. Hell, my tech school alone didn't end until December of that same year. It's almost like they were training me with actual marketable skills.

I got out of tech school and joined my first unit (ha, unit) on October 31, 1991. The first week of tech school was running all morning, and typing class all afternoon.

Then the e-club all night, which in California (at the time) meant you could drink at 18. WOW did we abuse alcohol, back then. Good times.

Booze must have been legal for me in tech school (Mississippi)? I remember getting drunk, but not abusing it until I got to NM and its e-club. That's where I watched OJ run from the cops!
