It's Ron's Fault

Gents:

Well, I done stoods all I can stands, and I can't stands no more! Riverkilt has been swishing about talking up his leatherneck tartan, and I've been thinking of how much my life was changed since I stood on the famous yellow footprints at USMCRD-San Diego . . .

So I took the plunge. (Hey, Marines are amphibians, right? Errr, amphibious, anyway.)

Just got done ordering a five yarder from Rocky, thirteen ounce USMC/Leatherneck tartan. A couple of months, and I'll be "dancing with them what brung me."

I tried to get away from Rocky. I thought, "Yeah, well, I've got the Farquharson casual from him, and the blue Ramsay semi-trad, that ought to be enough."

Oh, but no! Hey, I couldn't have a Army tartan semi-trad and no leatherneck, right? I mean, that just wouldn't be right, given my service history.

So now I wait. He he!

Welcome aboard the leatherneck train!

Iwill soon have my own Leatherneck. Then the Fraser Red.

[Riverkilt]

Semper Fi! Enjoy the pride.

What yellow foot prints...?? I don't see no footprints Sarge...

KABOOM!!

Oh...there they are...TEN HUT!

Hoping my Leatherneck traditional hand sewn is somewhere in the line...

I don't know anything about the yellow footprints. But, I assume it's the same as the "lines" we wingnuts landed on in San Anton'

The yellow footprints? Well, they're not quite the yellow brick road, but they do start you on a long and interesting journey. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if, instead of joining the Corps, I'd have just taken the bar and started working as a lawyer. -Shudder- I wouldn't speak Russian, I would never have been to Kazakhstan or Mongolia, never have met the wife, never have done, actually, a lot of neat and interesting things. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Also, this will be my first handmade wool tartan kilt!
