Funny stuff TJ!
...although it kinda seems to me he might have overfilled some of those bags a bit. I remember our platoon sgt in Somalia making us empty out an entire section because they were filled too much and they left gaps when stacked and were a bit unsteady...if you underfill them slightly they mold together a little better....Of course God forbid you should underfill them toooooo much or we'd be doing the opposite ::dang:: ::dang::

And S/Sgt Goldilocks says, "Empty 'em out and start over". I wasn't an 03 but even I know you don't fill 'em over about 2/3 full. That may be experience talking right there.

Obviously those were not set up by a Marine, besides being overfilled there is no firing position there with a rifle barrel sticking out!

It looks like it was set up by someone in the Air Force! :lol:
Isn't the Air Force the only branch of the service that issues umbrellas? ::shrug::

They're circling out beyond the surf, waiting for the Beach Master to call them in.
