Hey Dave!

I haven't seen Phil popping in much here recently.

[sanjuro_ronin]

Phil has been super busy in the west coast and going back and forth doing seminars on his WC.
Have you guys seen him on facebook?

He would get a laugh out of that exam, LOL.

Thanks guys, I will give Phil a call later today and tell him to look it over.
I would send him an email but that could be hit or miss.................unless there are pictures some Marines cannot read :p

Phil and I get along well and we give each other crap about our time in the service. While I may joke about different branches, I have respect for all who served, even those who were in the Coast Guard. Actually, the Coast Guard gets a bum wrap a lot of the time. Did you know that the CG were the first branch of the U.S. Military to capture Germans during WWII? They were also the first to board an enemy vessel (a sinking German U-Boat).

Then again there is the joke:

What does the crew of a Coast Guard cutter do when it sinks?

They wade ashore

I'll guarantee that you'll say Moses got 10 Commandants which is incorrect Soldier. Lol
