The idea here is to share content/discuss topics that fall outside traditional or established thread topics. So, if have something military-related or applicable to the 'military experience' but it doesn't fit neatly into an existing thread topic or category... well then, no problem this is your thread! It could be a story of your own, a published article, a photo or historical account, resource, link, or just about anything else under-the-sun. I know this'll be a blast, and pretty much any topic goes, just a couple of basic rules--let's keep it within the bounds of good taste, and as always the 'golden rule' applies--that is to display respect for all members, of all ranks, and in all statuses. Now strap-on your seatbelts, pull-up a keyboard and let's get this this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

There are definitely differences in approach between army and marines when it comes to basic training. Good videos. As I see it though the efficiency of the force validates the effectiveness of preparation. So to that end I think both the army and marines are more than effective at training. Besides there is rarely just one way of doing something right.

Absolutely, very true and of course those compiling/editing the videos have their particular point or position; so, this was of course good natured fun and offered-up very 'tongue-in-cheek;' great post SFC, thanks for your reply!

<p>For those who haven't already seen this, it's worth a moment of your time; the late Red Skelton gives his version of the Pledge of Allegiance, as inspired by his teacher when he was growing up. <a class="c_nobdr t_prs" href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eMR6d_9GsCQ" target="_blank"><font color="#0072c6">http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eMR6d_9GsCQ</font></a></p><p> </p><div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/eMR6d_9GsCQ/hqdefault.jpg"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eMR6d_9GsCQ" target="_blank">Red Skelton's Pledge of Allegiance</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">The late comedian Red Skelton shares his prophetic views of the American pledge of allegiance to the flag, recorded some 40 years ago in 1969, on his CBS tel...</div></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><div class="pta-box-hide"><i class="icon-remove"></i></div></div>

I remember watching the Red Skelton Show when I was a kid and this is just one of many memories I have that stuck with me from his show. Thanks for bringing it back to us. I also found out that Charlie Daniels did a remake of this speech.
