The Navy Mug would be pure comedy genius. I can imagine all the smart *** Lance Criminals asking about it. Several times a day.

That mug won't make it past the first wet-down.
Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

Doubtful. If it did, it would have to be an office mug. The one like your Top had that had decades of coffee rinsed from it, though never actually cleaned. It will develop a patina of coffee stain that will give it character. And it will occasionally (daily) be used as a spitter. Like my 1st Bn. coffee mug.

The name plaque is a cool idea, Piggy, but I'd change one thing. Maybe it's just my elitist attitude, but I don't care how good the school is, it does not rate to be on the same plaque as the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. If you go the plaque route, use Marine symbology on both sides. Originally Posted by Piggy

A certified Mamaluke sword will be far beyond his price range although it WOULD be a kick-*** gift! I still need to get a NCO sword. Damn my priorities.... :D

nice. Too rich for me back then. I needed it quickly, and 130$ was a better price for me.

My razor is a Solingen. It cost far less than my NCO sword, and I get more use out of it these days. ;)
