I have 4 tattoos... None for the Marines.

Actually, none of my tattoos are service related.
(Being I served in the Navy 4 years, Army 5 years, and Marines 12 years)

But I could still do it... some day.

I didn't actuall fly, but my planes couldn't 'fly' without me!

Being a C-2 Plane Captain while in the Navy, or a CH-53E Crew Chief in the Marines, we had to be on board (as a crewman) for the plane to go anywhere... Talk about job security ! HaHahahhahaa

I think it would be an excellent chance for you Erik, whether you fly Navy or Marines... You'll have some of the best education available, travel, frends, and experience. Some of the most valuable experiences that you'll get no where else but in the military!

We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the anchor from the Navy, and the rope from the Army.
On the seventh day while God rested, we overran his perimeter, stole the globe, and we've been running the whole show ever since.
