We Navy guys can tell a few things about those darned Marines such as:
A Marine and a sailor were in the restroom of an airport doing their business when the sailor finishes and starts for the door, the Marine shouts out, "Hey sailor, in the Corps at boot camp they teach us to wash our hands after taking a piss." The sailor then turns and replies, "At Navy boot camp they teach not to piss all over our hands." Then the fight commenced.

Yeah, our Gyrenes here are all dressed up. They look pretty spiffy. There will be the usual cutting of the cake by the youngest and oldest. (For oldest, they usually invite some 80+ ringer from downtown somewhere, who fought in Korea or something. We have a number of 17-18 year-olds as candidates for youngest.)
I have to admit them Marines do look rather spiffy in their dress blues. Or blacks, or whatever they call it. I think it's definitely the classiest dress uniforms of all the branches of the service.
Navy are the ones with black uniforms. They call them "Navy blue." Stupid squids. And Army and Navy and Air Force are always changing their uniforms, because some senior officers got their grubby fingers in the uniform manufacture business. But the Marines know a good thing, and have instituted very few changes. They still look grand. But they all pale next to the Brits. So sorry.
Marines love to grouse, bitch, and complain about the Corps. Just don't let one of us here you say the things we do!
Two widows, are talking.
Martha says, "That nice George Johnson asked me out for a date. I know you went out with him last week and I wanted to talk with you about him before I give him my answer."
Edna: "I'll tell you what haplpened. He shows up at my apartment punctually at 7 P.M. Dressed like a gentleman in a fine suit. And he brings me such beautiful flowers! He drove safely and all his conversation was intelligent and witty.
Then he takes me out for dinner. . .marvelous dinner - lobster. Then we go see a show. Let me tell you, Martha, I enjoyed it so much I could have just died from pleasure!
So then we are coming back to my apartment and he turns into an ANIMAL!!! Completely crazy. He tears off my expensive new dress and has his way with me two times! I had no idea he's a retired Marine!"
Martha: "Goodness gracious! . . so you are telling me I shouldn't go out with him?
Edna: "No . . . I'm just saying, wear an old dress."

Exactly.. my birthson went on his mission first, and then joined the Marines, before going A-Wall from religion altogether.
He got angry at the world - probably realized he'd been duped like the rest of us, and has been working through that and other issues since his mission.
