The Devil Dogs always knew the Commandant was “in to” the Marine Corps birthday celebration, but that was about to have a whole new meaning.
An instant later, everyone rose with thunderous applause as R. Lee Ermy burst from the cake and gave the General a healthy dose of “Birthday Bash”.
233rd birthday, and the commandant has only been to 232 of them.
The commandant and wife were enjoying the birthday ball until the NCO’s dumped the cake in their laps.
The Marine ball was fun until the Commandant asked to see the cake.
The commandant wanted a piece of cake not the WHOLE thing.
INCOMING!!!
The Commadant wanted his cake and to eat it too.
Calling on the skills learned during his Recon days, the Commandant grabbed a knife, cut the cake into perfectly proportioned slices, and had everyone served before a crumb hit the ground.
The Commandant wanted his cake and to wear it too.
The question is, how well does gold frosting go with dress blues.

Instantly the Commandant thought “ 233 pushups…too easy. 233 days on KP…getting warmer. 233 days on IA KP orders to Afghanistan…better!â€
Why “ceremonial cake carrying” was added to the Combat Fitness Test.

The Culinary Specialist soon regretted having improvised with the cake batter recipe.
Think fast!!!
The Tradition of being the oldest Marine present at the Ball was about to take on a whole new meaning
Will there be a 234th Birthday Ball for these two young Marines?
The US Marine Corp: 233 years later, they’re still working on balancing brains and brawn.
Srry Sir we told those Navy cooks not to grease to cake pan ! Bottems up!
Much like their careers are about to do, Corporals Jones and Smith watch The Corp’s Birthday cake slide into a bad place.
The NCOs were out of gatorade, so they improvised.
The Navy, not invited to the party, joins the Marines in celebrating their birthday with a few steering casualty control drills.
