Totally gung ho and good to go on the one hand, yet approachable, friendly, professional, outgoing, and "head screwed on right"describes todays generation of Marines.
If you get a chance to talk to a Marine, ask him if he did his time at 8th and I streets, Washington, DC. also ask him if he has had the pleasure of a Mongolian BBQ during Friday night beer call.
Sorry to hear about your computer...I just got mine back after having had severe O/S problems. Hey, so now what's Mark gonna do with his spare time if he can't slag you, as he has so unmercifully in the past?...as if you didn't deserve it!
