Re: I did it
My mate just finished training with some US Marines from Camp Pendleton (?), out doing a joint exercise in Northern Australia. Now this part of the world is full of dangerous critters, some of which actively hunt humans, and you really need to keep your wits about you. He reckoned it was pretty funny watching a squad of Marines on patrol more concerned with the native fauna than the 'enemy'. But not as funny as seeing them cut a huge Fourth of July cake with a machete, that an hour earlier had been use to to cut up somne seriously poisonous cane toads. But overall an awesome bunch of blokes, even gave him a go on one of their tricked up M4's.
