You always hear about the army draft but never the marines.

WTF is this fun fact history hour? If I wanted that, I could have tagged moreluck in for her BS and dumb anecdotes.

Because it took me so long to answer, I know you won't believe me thinking I googled it, but I think the Marines never drafted.

When I was drafted into the Army in 1968 the first thing they did when we reported to the Minneapolis induction center was to line us up against a wall and have us count off by 6's. 1 2 3 4 5 6- 1 2 3 4 5 6. They then told everyone who was a number 6 to take one step forward and follow the Marine Drill Instructor because you were going to the Marines. Yes the Marines drafted for 2 or 3 years (67-68-69 I believe). Sometimes it was every 10th guy or 12th guy (or not at all) but they did get their share.

I’m sure if you ingested enough. A guy on youtube vaped pure reaper extract. Lucky it didn’t burn his lungs.

Those little Thai peppers are the hottest ones I’ve eaten

I grew some one year, and dried them. I decided to chop them up in a coffee grinder.

If you try this, don’t breathe the dust when you open the grinder.

Dang.

Thanks for you service Rod!

I did a little more research on the draft. During the Vietnam War 42,633 men were drafted into the Marines with May of 1968 being the largest number drafted in a month. No Navy personnel were drafted during the years of Vietnam but during WWII the Navy also drafted. .

The Chair Force has never used the draft.

Cordelia the tortoise. Lol.

This reminds me of a driver. He was delivering to a small town home with a fenced off front porch.

He walks up goes through the fence drops the package and comes back to the truck. The lady who is driving a Prius comes pulling up as he drives away.

The center manager gets a call shortly after about how the driver killed her $500 tortoise.

Apparently when the driver drove away he ran the tortoise over covering the Prius in its shell and guts. I saw the pictures.

He's still made fun of to this day for being beat by a tortoise back to his truck.

Back in my day we called that gesture when upside down "ballgazing". I guess now it's useful for trolling idiots.

Good morning.
