The Marines want you!

Well actually they want Thing1.

Sat down to read last night while waiting for 24 to come on and the phone rings. The wife answers and tells the caller that Thing1 isn't home and doesn't live here right now as he's away at school. The caller introduces himself as a Sargent in the Marines and tells her that he's been checking up on all the kids in the top 20% of Thing1's graduating class to see what they are up to and if the Marines might be an option. The wife politely explains everything. The recruiter thanks her for the time and asks us to tell Thing1 to consider the Marines after college. Even if he didn't have CF I don't think he's Marine material. Maybe Air Force but not Marines.

Those guys run towards the shooting... Real glad they are on our side.
