OK GUNNY !!! :-)

"President's Own" applies not only to the USMC Band from 8th&I but also to ALL MARINES as the President
NOT by virtue of his additional "title" of
Commande-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America -- BUT -- because of his OFFICE
as President of the United States of America --
gets HIS OWN military force to command WITHOUT having to ASK for permission to send A Marine or 400,00 Marines anywhere in the world. It has been that way since the inception of the Continental US Marines established 10 November 1775 at Tuns Tavern Philadelphia....

Further US Marine Officers are the only military officers that have the RIGHT to board a NAVAL vessel
of the United States whereas even the assigned
officers of that particular vessel MUST REQUEST
PERMISSION TO BOARD while rendering a salute to the officer of the deck....

ie., Marine officer salutes colors, turns to the OD, and states, "Sir, I HAVE PERMISSION TO BOARD."

However some of the younger Marine officers, including many of our enlisted Marines (especially at Pendleton) today have NOT unfortunately been trained in the TRADITIONS of the US Marines correctly.

Do it for you, Gunny?

And by the way, I wasn't at the Korea gig...
RECON, CID, now DIA Liasion to NRO
SEMPER FI! DEVILDAWGS ARE FOREVER!! OooohhhRRRaaaHHH!
