wes, good point on the language issue. i feel your pain.
as for the holster issue, you're right too young to serve - but i did register at 18 [img]smile.gif[/img]
my dad was a marine in the late 50's, he said they used to spit shine and use shoe polish. when the shoe polish got to waxy and built up, they'ed take lighter fluid to it. they'd use it to wipe off the build up and sometimes even "burn" it off. i guess they never really cared about keeping a collection up? <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
