There are times when I think that when Captain Samuel Nichols put out the word for recruits for the new U.S. Marine Corps in 1775 in Philadelphia it went something like this -- the first recruit went to Tun Tavern and sat down on a bench to wait for his interview. After 20 minutes or so another guy came in and sat down next to him on the bench. That's when the first guy turned to the new guy and said, "Man, let me tell you what it was like in the Old Corps."
