tunaplanet 0 #1 December 27, 2003 ID Check A few years back one of the new Marines at the Barracks at Yorktown, VA was standing post at the main gate of the Naval Weapons Station. The policy was to check 100% of ID cards including military in uniform. A Navy sedan drove up to the gate with a young seaman at the wheel and a rear admiral sitting in the back. The young PFC signaled for the car to stop, approached the driver, and asked to see both ID cards. The admiral told the Marine that he was on his way to meet with the station CO and didn't have time for such nonsense.... Admiral to driver: "Go ahead." ...PFC to driver: "Don't do that." ...Admiral to driver: "You heard me, Drive on." ...PFC to Admiral as he draws his .45: "Sir, this is my first time on post. Do I shoot you or your driver?" The admiral showed his ID. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee03 0 #5 December 28, 2003 I saw incidents like this occur rather frequently when I was in the Corps.. fact to remember.. "A Marine on duty has no friends!" That came directly out of the Marine Corps Manual for Interior Guard!"-------- To put your life in danger from time to time ... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities. --Nevil Shute, Slide Rule Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
