I rented The Great Santini the other night and was surprised to find
out
that the Marines had fighter pilots. I thought the only USAF and Navy
had
the fighter pilots.

Well........., on a good night at the O Club at Pax, if we were sure no
Marines or Air Force types were present at the bar, (and if we had
enough to
drink, even with some of them present :-).......this opinion just MIGHT
have
come up once in a while!!! :-)))
Seriously through, some of the finest fighter pilots I've known in my
somewhat dubious career were Air Force and Marine drivers.
The Marines most certainly do have fighter pilots, and some damn good
ones
at that!!

Dudley, I think there's a more than decent chance that you've being
trolled.
After all, the original poster has chosen as his Nom de Usenet the name of
Steve
Martin's clueless title character in "The Jerk".

Saw that movie; actually saw both of them. I really enjoy Steve Martin's
work. He's a "very..... funny guy" :-)
Apparently he has other talents too. Just last week I was astounded to find
out that he's one of the country's premier 5 string banjo players. I heard
him play on the radio without knowing who was playing, and I swear I thought
it was Earl Scruggs. Man, THAT was Bluegrass!!! :-)
