Berkely

Maybe someone could convince them that there's a way to hitch a ride on the next comet coming by...

Can we hire Cheech and Chong to be our ambassadors to Berkely?

I think the Marine Corps should show this guy the effectiveness of the Marine Sniper.I did some time recruiting for the Marine corps it is hardenough to get todays youth to sign up, let alone after all this bad press.

Interesting you bring that up. I have a son, just turned 21. He is looking for a job. He was in a mall in Houston and talked to a Marine recruiter, and actually took some kind of aptitude test. He scored 99% on whatever test it was (I am sure you know a lot more about that than I do). He was told he could probably have any job in the Marine Corps. He was enthusiastic about it for a few days, and I encouraged him to look into it further. But he decided it wasn't for him.

Hell, he even looks like a Marine. Six one, eight years of martial arts training, four years of automotive tech school, in which he set academic records. But he opted not to pursue it.

Oh well, now he thinks he might like to try being a second mate or something on a charter boat. He is staying with us in the islands for a few weeks, and has the fishing bug big time. But he would make one hell of a good Marine.
