Oh what a wonderful day it will be. I get to run around the neighborhood hiding in bushes, jumping out and scaring kids. I get to be a kid again because tonight is Halloween. Halloween has always been one of my favorite days of the year no matter how old I am. When I was [...]
If you are a Marine that has been evicted due to no fault of your own you may be able to get the military to move you at no charge to yourself. If you were paying your landlord and are up to date on your rent but the landlord has failed to pay his mortgage [...]

I joined this great mean green killing machine that is the Marine Corps 13 years ago. When I came in Sergeants were GODS. As a young Pvt or PFC you never went and talked to the Sergeant. If you did you were asking for either a beat down or a shitty working party (I got [...]
