Facebook reminded me of that today with this picture that I posted four years ago, when I picked up Sergeant.
I even had a pair of LT chevrons inside my cover. I was just waiting for the perfect opportunity for an officer to get waxed. Then I could slap those bad boys on and scream for everyone to FIX BAYONETS, CHARGE!
Oh Marine Corps, how I sort of, kind of, sometimes, miss you and all the dreams of violent glory that never came to fruition.
