I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Right now I'm super drunk, because I had to go to my in-laws tonight. I'm still convinced their goal is to kill me slowly through alcohol poisoning, but I love them.

Semper Fi, Corporal!
Lance Cpl. Myles Kerr may have lost the Jeff Drenth Memorial 5K footrace in Charlevoix, Michigan, last weekend, but he won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of admirers.
On Saturday, the 19-year-old Marine noticed 9-year-old Boden Fuchs struggling to complete the race. The boy had become separated from his group. According to the Facebook page, Seal of Honor, which posted a photograph of the pair running together, Boden asked Kerr, "Sir, will you please run with me?" Kerr, wearing boots and fatigues, and carrying a full backpack, stuck with the boy, encouraged him to complete the race, and helped him reunite with his party at the end of the course—even though Kerr was dead last in his age group, clocking in at 35:43 minutes (five seconds behind Boden).
He came in so much later than his Marine buddies, in fact, that they were concerned he had been injured.
The photo has received more than 200,000 likes and been shared nearly 10,000 times.
The Seal of Honor page—which was established in the memory of Lt. Michael Murphy, who served as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan—went on to praise the young man: "By his unwavering commitment to help those in need through his ability to inspire others by his unequivocal level of motivation, Lcpl Kerr reflected great credit upon himself and was keeping in the highest traditions of the United States Marine Corps."
He also thanked Boden's family for giving him a $100 gift card to the Grey Gables Inn restaurant in Charlevoix.
I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

WTF?
Former U.S service members, Leah Marquet, 20, and Anne Kendzior, 22, claim they were raped at the Naval Academy in Maryland and the Army's United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.
National Journal is a research and advisory services company based in Washington, D.C. offering services in government affairs.
Stephanie Schroeder joined the U.S. Marine Corps not long after 9/11. She was a 21-year-old with an associate’s degree when she reported for boot camp at Parris Island, South Carolina.
According to Pentagon research, a quarter of all women who join the military are sexually assaulted during their careers. Many cases go unreported, and some victims say the perpetrator is a superior to whom they would have to report the assault.
As many as one in three military women are raped by fellow troops. Rolling Stone's Sabrina Rubin Erdely explains

Wrong place and time.
Move it to the politics thread.
The Marine did a good thing, but other sailors and soldiers did bad things, so let's shit on the good thing.
In this instance you deserve a fuck you.
So, Fuck you
And the first article is bullshit. There are not 3 rapes an hour in the military. Nothing but twisted statistics and mis-classification of crimes.
Take your soap box to the politics threadLast edited by CGVT; August 1, 2013, 08:04 PM.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

You are the problem Dude. You go into every thread and spin doctor to rile people up. Look on your profile page, you claim sarcasm as your way of life. Take it somewhere else."Don?t worry about a thing, every little thing is gonna be alright. - Bob Marley "

Nope. Saying that the good Dr misrepresented the statistics and you shit on a feel good story that didn't need to be shit on.
