The wallpaper is nice, but did anyone else catch the "Marine math?"

You do understand that Gen. LeJeune didn't wrote that birthday message
around 1931, don't you?

"didn't wrote" ?!?!?!?!

Please John, tell me you aren't a Marine. You'd be not only
confirming Jim Carriere's snide "Marine math" comment, but giving
him a chance at a "Marine grammar" comment if you are.

As I was noting and posting at the same time. Major General
Commandant Lejeune published the order establishing the message
on November 1, 1921.

Delete "didn't." Brane phart.

1921 is "around" 1931, isn't it? :-)

Ah so desuka. Navy grammar and Navy math. ;-

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Mr. Miller, sir.

Worse. PAO.

Should mention that I was broadcast press officer at the Museum
dedication in '75, if that has any mitigating effect.

Actually, it gives you extenuating circumstances - combat
fatigue/shell shock from dealing with woefully ignorant
TV/radio/print reporters. ;- That sort of thing can cause a
lot of problems to one's cogitation abilities. Isn't there a
12-step program for current/former military PAOs suffering from
Post-PAO-Stress Trauma? They've got one for every other thing
under the sun, it would seem.

dedication in '75, if that has any mitigating effect.

The Pensacola one that has been the subject of so much worry in
here? [I was not in CONUS for much of '75, so missed any
broadcast on any museum opening, blue or green, that would
involve a Navy PAO.

Yes, that's the one. It was a good bit smaller when it opened, but a
tremendous improvement over its predecessor in the frame building near
the commissary (with the X-something plane in front).

My bad (more accurate, my ignorance).

Hmm, you're right, I guess it did come across as snide. Gotta love
the net for leaving text open to interpretation. I thought the
numbers related to the present day, not decades ago, and the poster
mistyped them.

I'll cut my losses with you learn something new every day, and point
out, in my defense, that I did properly capitalize Marine.
