stevedawg, when I graduated from Aviation Officer Candidate School in 1987, my dad gave a gift to Gunnery Sergeant Holtry, United States Marine Corps. It was a Georgia Bulldogs mug. Rumor has it he started hanging dog tags on it when he collected them each day, only to return them each Saturday to their unlucky owners after a vigorous "workout" in "The Rose Garden".
If those Marines get fired up . . . YOU get fired up.
Let's see that same FIGHTING SPIRIT TONIGHT, CMR!!!!!!
Edit: You know, of course . . . the mascot of the Marines is a Bulldog.
