We all agree back in the Philippines! "Simper-Fy"! Thats the marines code of honor, a salutation if you will, well, thanks fir the question, live long and prosper, as long as we've got the marine corps, Star Trek may become reality, we're not too far off hovercars either! ...Did I got to far? hehhehheh...
