So my friend Steph has this horribly boring desk job that she hates, but one that has a distinct side benefit of giving her lots of free time to find cool stuff on the internet...like the photos below found on Marines.mil. All of her friends are trying to get her to switch to a more fun and rewarding career as a fitness teacher because we all think it's her true calling, but until she does, I'm just going to enjoy her mad searching skills. =)

So this is before the game when Paul was meeting the Commandant. I know exactly how their conversation went and it's funny because you can see it in the pics.
General Conway: So what do you do, Marine?

(not shown) Paul: I'm the RS Ops O*, sir.
This is where it's funny...
General Conway: Well, that's a shitty job.**
Paul: Ahh, yessir it is.
I like this photo. I just love the look on the player's face...I love it when people look at Paul that way. The guy who was working the elevator when we were going up to our area told Paul that it was good to see him on this side of the pond and thanked him for his service. I always like to say 'thank you for your support' when people say that, but I was too choked up from the pond comment to say anything at all. =)

Awesome. I got a little choked up just from the pics.
Dear friends who have never seen my husband in blues....I KNOW, RIGHT?!
First, I'm glad my job makes one of us happy! :) Oh, and as I have been bored, I have started looking for fitness stuff...but I'm kind of chicken about it!
Second, Paul looks very spiffy in his blues!!
Third, the conversation between Paul and Mr. Conway = FUNNY!! :)
Fourth, the picture of Mr. Conway and the football player makes me laugh because of Mrs. Conway in the background taking a picture with her iphone!!! HA!!! :)
What a fun night - and I totally agree with you...I love when people say "thanks"...totally chokes me up!!! :)
Mike was flipping channels and saw General Conway and it stopped him dead. Then I told him you and Paul were there too but we I didn't get a glimpse of either of you. You can get handsome photos of him for us this year at the ball.
Wait-these pics are on a site that Steph found? I'm totally confused.Did she get them from the Commandant's photographer's site? Either way, they are awesome. The commentary is even better, though! =)
Awesome!!!!!!
Awesome Pictures! Wait till I show Ryan he is going to lose his mind!!! The Saints are his favorite team in the whole wide world we just finished his new room he has a Life size picture of Drew Brees on his wall and Saints everything. I know can you believe a die hard Eagles fan allowed it in her house,LOL...
