Like I always tell my wife, I was a great pilot, a good officer and a terrible Marine. That said, thanks @NotAKitty , the ball was always a good time, mostly because you could watch drunk command officers get their asses kicked by drunk Gunnies
Man, Coasties are my favorite dudes to chill out with. They're way less bitter than everyone else and they always have a good plan as far as a designated driver (they bring a Mormon with a minivan)
