There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Happy Birthday Marines

Ditto !!
During 14 years in the Army, I attended many a ceremony where the cake was cut with a sword.
Hats off to my fellow ground pounders.

Thanks for the Birthday well wishes!
The ceremony is full of tradition. The oldest Marine present, youngest Marine present, Officer's Sword to cut the cake, boots and helmet representing the fallen. When the cake is cut the first piece goes to the boots in honor of those who are no longer with us. The second piece goes to the oldest Marine, who passes it on to the youngest Marine which represents the handing down of the traditions and honor of the Corps. The third piece goes to the oldest Marine. Then everyone else gets a fair shot at a piece.
At my old job we would actually have a ceremony as many of us veterans were employed there. One of the guys would bring in his dad who actually served in the Korean War and the Frozen Chosin! Now that was a cool experience. I missed that this year.
