I never post something funny, yet appropriate here, but I just had to post this one a fellow Marine sent me, in fact he was one of my recruits back in the early 60’s. Enjoy

A Pvt, a Cpl,and a Gunny were walking along Pulgas Beach at Camp Pendleton, CA one day. The Pvt was, as usual for him, dragging ass as was his feet when he kicked something bright. Up popped a Genie. She exclaimed, “Oh Masters, you have freed me from my spell. I will grant you any wishes you desire.”

Without any hesitation at all the Pvt shouted, “I hate this crotch, get me out of here, make me a civilian with a million dollars, and a good looking chick.” Poof, he was gone.

The Cpl chuckled and stated with finality, “He was a typical private, silly and no plan for his future. I want a private island, ten million dollars, and surround by many gorgeous chicks.” Poof, he disappeared.

The Genie looked at the Gunny who was lighting a cigar. She said, Well Gunny, what are your wishes.

The Gunny took a long draw on his cigar and calmly said:

READY?

“Have them back before reveille.”

As a former cigar puffing Gunny, I certainly identified with the Gunny. It’s called looking out for you men!
