  1. CIWS CHIEF Says:

    The Devil Dogs always knew the Commandant was “in to” the Marine Corps birthday celebration, but that was about to have a whole new meaning.

  2. jhusaf Says:

    An instant later, everyone rose with thunderous applause as R. Lee Ermy burst from the cake and gave the General a healthy dose of “Birthday Bash”.

  3. WXMAN Says:

    233rd birthday, and the commandant has only been to 232 of them.

  4. WXMAN Says:

    The commandant and wife were enjoying the birthday ball until the NCO’s dumped the cake in their laps.

  5. WXMAN Says:

    The Marine ball was fun until the Commandant asked to see the cake.

  6. WXMAN Says:

    The commandant wanted a piece of cake not the WHOLE thing.

    INCOMING!!!

  8. tizzyhill Says:

    The Commadant wanted his cake and to eat it too.

  9. Scott Stroman Says:

    Calling on the skills learned during his Recon days, the Commandant grabbed a knife, cut the cake into perfectly proportioned slices, and had everyone served before a crumb hit the ground.

  10. WXMAN Says:

    The Commandant wanted his cake and to wear it too.

  11. WXMAN Says:

    The question is, how well does gold frosting go with dress blues.

    Instantly the Commandant thought “ 233 pushups…too easy. 233 days on KP…getting warmer. 233 days on IA KP orders to Afghanistan…better!”

    Why “ceremonial cake carrying” was added to the Combat Fitness Test.

    The Culinary Specialist soon regretted having improvised with the cake batter recipe.

  15. WXMAN Says:

    Think fast!!!

  16. Bob Werlau Says:

    The Tradition of being the oldest Marine present at the Ball was about to take on a whole new meaning

  17. mike118122 Says:

    Will there be a 234th Birthday Ball for these two young Marines?

  18. Untamed Says:

    The US Marine Corp: 233 years later, they’re still working on balancing brains and brawn.

  19. demp007 Says:

    Srry Sir we told those Navy cooks not to grease to cake pan ! Bottems up!

  20. ezyrdr57 Says:

    Much like their careers are about to do, Corporals Jones and Smith watch The Corp’s Birthday cake slide into a bad place.

  21. WXMAN Says:

    The NCOs were out of gatorade, so they improvised.

  22. Belasarius Says:

    The Navy, not invited to the party, joins the Marines in celebrating their birthday with a few steering casualty control drills.
