I'm not really sure about the courage factor. The sailor did prove to be much smarter, though! :wink: :mrgreen:
SEMPER FI!

I've been around Admirals and I promise you, That WAS courage. You're correct about smarter though. Hmm, brave AND smart, can't beat that.
To be honest though, you can always trust a Marine to do as they're told and always trust a Sailor to argue about it first. At least, that's been my experience. You can also trust a Soldier to pretend not to hear your orders, and an Airmen to get them wrong. :lol: :shock: :mrgreen:

I would take a good corpsman over all the admirals in the Navy! But, that's just ME, AND EVERY MARINE. :mrgreen:
The admirals do have lovely uniforms and trinkets, though.

Yep, flashy; useless, but flashy.

I do it silently, we sailors don't have to yell and make a lot of noise

I notice you don't deny 'wallowing' in her adoration! :lol:
Your silence is an admirable trait few Marines possess. :oops:

I was expecting a comeback such as yours to my comment. I would never append the secondary word to you my Airdale friend. Something I have often wondered, but have never found out, or asked before, is, who flies the hospital MATS airplanes? We had Corpsmen attending us, but I never queried anyone as to who was piloting them. I really didn't care at the time, I was just happy to leave the 'beautiful' Land of the Morning Calm.

I didn't want to say that, when I first read Salty's response.
That was exactly what I was thinking.
Now, AuntiE can't jump on me 'bout it, 'cause 'her' Alex brought it up! :wink: :thumbup: :mrgreen:
