THANK YOU MASTER SGT. DARREN GREEN (Derek's Brother)

In the beginning was the word and the word was God In the beginning was God. All else was darkness and void and without form So God created the Heavens and the Earth He created the sun, the moon, the stars so that light might pierce the darkness God divided the Earth between the land and the sea These He filled with many assorted creatures The dark, salty, slimy creatures that inhabited the murky depths of the oceans God called *Sailors* He dressed them accordingly They had little trousers that looked like bells at the bottom Their shirts had cute little flaps on them to hide the hickeys on their necks He also gave them long sideburns and shabby looking beards God nicknamed them *Squids* and banished them to a lifetime at sea He did this so normal folks would not have to associate with them To further identify these unloved creatures He called them "petty" and "commodore" Instead of titles worthy of red-blooded men

The flaky creatures of the land God called soldiers With a twinkle in His eye and a sense of humor that only He could have God made their trousers too short and their covers too large He also made their pockets oversized so that they may warm their hands To adorn their uniforms He gave them badges He gave them emblems, crests and all sorts of shiny things that glittered and devices that dangled (When you are God you tend to get carried away)

On the 6th day He thought about creating some air creatures He designed a Greyhound bus driver's uniform especially for Air Force fly-boys But He discarded the idea during the first week It was not until years later that some apostles resurrected this theme They established what we now know as The *Wild Blue Yonder Wonders*

And on the 7th day, as you know, God rested

But on the 8th day, at 0730, God looked down upon the earth and was not happy

God was not happy!

He thought about His labors and in His divine wisdom God created a divine creature

This he called **MARINE**

These Marines, who God had created in His own image, Were to be of the air, and of the land, and of the sea These he gave many wonderful uniforms Some were green, some were blue with red trim In the early days some were even a beautiful tan He gave them practical fighting uniforms So that they could wage war against the forces of Satan and evil He gave them service uniforms for their daily work and training He gave them evening and dress uniforms, sharp and stylish handsome things So that they might promenade with their ladies on Saturday night and impress the shit out of everybody! He gave them swords so that people who were not impressed could be dealt with accordingly

At the end of the 8th day God looked down upon the Earth and saw that it was good

But was God happy?

NO!

God was still not happy! Because in the course of his labors He had forgotten one thing He did not have a Marine uniform for Himself But He thought about it and thought about it and finally satisfied Himself in knowing that

~~~WELL~~~
