The USMC is over 219 years of romping, stomping, hell, death and destruction. The finest fighting machine the world has ever seen. We were born in a bomb crater, our mother was an M-16 and our father was the devil.
Each moment that I live is an additional threat upon your life. I am a rough-looking, roving soldier of the sea. I am cocky, self-centered, overbearing, and I do not know the meaning of fear, for I am fear itself. I am a green, amphibious monster made of blood and guts who arose from the sea, festering on anti-Americans throughout the globe. Whenever it may arise, and when my time comes, I will die a glorious death on the battle field, giving my life to mom, the Corps, and the American flag.
We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the anchor from the Navy, and the rope from the Army. On the 7th day, while God rested, we over-ran his perimeter and stole the globe, and we've been running the show ever since. We live like soldiers and talk like sailors and slap the hell out of both of them. Soldier by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice, Marine by God!

It’s a work in progress. I am happy with it thus far. I have a long way to go, but that’s okay. I can be pleased with my progress 😊
I hid all the layers but the blackline (top) for this picture.
Here’s my thoughts.
The hat is still an issue, looks like a lopsided halo. I might need to get my paws on an actual one. I’m trying to mentally rotate something I’ve never held, nor seen from the underside.
The nose still needs a little work, but this is an angle I’m not used to drawing. I spent a lot of time today redlining and redrawing. It’s not just about making the nose realistic. Because she’s a pin-up, she needs to have a cute nose. I can’t lean purely into “technical anatomical accuracy,” I need to make sure it’s aesthetically pleasing.
The final thing that bugs me is NOT anything I have control over. The tines on the anchor do not match.
That is -accurate!- to the Marines’ Eagle-on-Globe, and it bugs the heck out of me! I want to know WHY it is not the same. What’s the symbolism? The history? The heckin’ reason?!?
The eagle feathers on the wings aren’t exactly 100% to the emblem, but I took artistic liberties there to make it look more correct. I make no apologies.

In September 2020, I wrote a fic called I'll Find You. It was a John/Hector WWII AU, based on this photo and story.
It sparked a trilogy of short stories. John was a gunner for the US Navy aboard a Dumbo PBY. Hector was the Marine Corps pilot he rescued after being shot down in the bay of Rabaul, like the story behind the photograph. In my version, of course, they fell in love.
In Remember Hawaii, they meet again on a weekend liberty in Hawaii, and start to dream of a future together.
In And Say We'll Never Part, John has been discharged from the Navy and waits for Hector to get out. They move in together, find friends and allies, and get their happily ever after in San Diego.
This isn't a long series, not really long enough for a full-sized book. But I have wanted it bound for as long as it's been complete. I wanted something in a full-cloth binding, like what was popular in the 1940s. I wanted something that would honor the story that snuck up on me and infiltrated my heart.
This series is a love letter to the LGBTQ+ members of the Armed Forces who have always served their country (any country) with valor.
Photos and more rambling about materials below the cut!
So let's talk about the binding materials. The book cloth is battlefield brown (the sort of brown that was fairly common for cloth binding. The end papers are Navy blue. The signatures are sewn in a rich blue cotton thread, honoring the naval service that bound John and Hector to each other. The bookmark ribbon is red, like a blood stripe, which Hector would have worn on his dress blues.
The blood stripe is a red band that runs up the trousers of Marine Corps dress blues, for Marines ranked corporal (E-4) and above. According to Marine Corps legend, the blood stripe commemorates the battle of Chapultepec in 1847 (the blood stripe was actually on the uniform before then, but Marines love their legends), specifically the non-commissioned officers (corporals and up) who died in the battle. It's even the first line in the Marine Corps hymn: "From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli."
Anyway, I digress. Battlefield brown. Navy end papers and thread. Blood stripe bookmark. Oh and the title? Insignia gold, like the rate John would have worn on his collar, or his ruptured duck when we got out. Hector probably would have been an officer (because he was a pilot) so his Eagle Globe and Anchor would have been gold.

How to Choose the Best Gold Coins for Your Investment Portfolio
Tumblr media
Choosing the right gold coins for your investment portfolio can be a nuanced endeavor, blending the allure of precious metal ownership with strategic financial planning. Across the globe, from the American Gold Eagle minted by the United States Mint to the Kangaroo coins from Perth Mint in Australia, investors have access to a variety of gold coins, each with its own rich history and investment potential. Navigating this diverse market requires understanding the different types of gold coins available, evaluating their liquidity, and planning their secure storage. Knowing how to assess premiums over the spot price and the reputation of sellers can also ensure your investment withstands the test of time. Keep reading to unlock the secrets to selecting the best gold coins for your investment portfolio.
Understanding the Different Types of Gold Coins for Investment
Tumblr media
Stepping into the world of gold coin investment unlocks a treasure chest of options, yet it can often seem as labyrinthine as the vaults that safeguard these precious assets. Distinguishing among the illustrious lineup of gold coins favored by investors around the globe forms the bedrock of savvy investing. Understanding the nuanced differences between bullion, proof, and numismatic coins suits an investor with the ability to tailor their portfolio to their specific financial landscape and investment objectives. Moreover, grasping the importance of purity levels in gold coins—often measured in fineness—empowers one to make informed decisions. These fundamentals are not just mere details; they are the keystones of constructing a resilient and prosperous investment portfolio. Identify the Most Popular Gold Coins Among Investors Among the pantheon of gold coins coveted by investors, certain names stand out for their reliability, brand recognition, and sovereign backing: the American Gold Eagle, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, and the Australian Gold Nugget/Kangaroo. These coins not only represent a secure investment but they also embody the rich history and artistic craftsmanship of their respective mints: the United States Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, and the Perth Mint. Each of these coins carries with it a legacy of fineness, legal tender status, and a high degree of liquidity, making them attractive to both novice and seasoned investors: CoinMintFinenessLegal TenderAmerican Gold EagleUnited States Mint91.67% GoldYesCanadian Gold Maple LeafRoyal Canadian Mint99.99% GoldYesAustralian Gold Nugget/KangarooPerth Mint99.99% GoldYes Differentiate Between Bullion, Proof, and Numismatic Coins Navigating through the realms of gold coin investment, it's crucial to understanding the distinct categories that gold coins fall into: bullion, proof, and numismatic coins. Bullion coins, for example, are primarily purchased for their precious metal content, valued closely to the current market price of gold, making them a steadfast pillar in most investment portfolios. On the flip side, proof and numismatic coins carry a different appeal, where their value isn't solely anchored in the gold they contain but also in their rarity, historical significance, and aesthetic qualities. Proof coins are specially minted with a mirror-like finish and are often part of limited editions, whereas numismatic coins are vintage or collector coins, each with its own story and potentially higher value over time. Assess the Purity Levels of Gold Coins When I'm advising on or considering gold coins for an investment portfolio, I always make a point to evaluate their purity levels. This metric, often signposted as 'fineness,' quantifies the actual gold content within a coin in comparison to other metals or alloys that might be present. A higher fineness score, reaching up to 99.99% in coins like the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf or the Australian Gold Nugget/Kangaroo, typically denotes a more valuable asset in terms of pure gold content. Determining a gold coin's purity isn't just an exercise in numbers; it directly affects the investment's performance. Coins with higher gold purity are less susceptible to corrosion or tarnish, maintaining their condition and visual appeal over time, which can be a critical factor for long-term value retention and attractiveness to buyers. This makes understanding a coin's fineness an indispensable step in curating a gold investment that's both resilient and aesthetically appealing to future purchasers or collectors. Now that we've navigated the fascinating world of gold coins, let's leap into the heart of the market. Armed with knowledge, we're set to analyze trends and pinpoint the best moments to invest!
Analyzing the Gold Coin Market Before Making a Purchase
Tumblr media
Before welcoming gold coins into your investment portfolio, a thorough analysis of the gold coin market is indispensable. Embarking on this journey requires a keen eye on fluctuating gold prices and emerging market trends that could signal opportune moments to buy or sell. Grasping the various elements that sway gold coin prices equips you with the foresight needed to make judicious decisions. Beyond the immediate, delving into the historical performance of different gold coins unveils patterns of resilience and growth, guiding toward informed selections that complement your investment landscape. Initiating this analytical process forms the backbone of strategic gold coin investment, harmonizing your portfolio's objectives with the realities of the market. Keep Track of Gold Prices and Market Trends To ensure the precision of my gold investment moves, I diligently monitor the fluctuating prices of gold and the trends that sweep through the market. Keeping an observant eye on these dynamics enables me to identify both the opportune moments to purchase gold coins and when to hold off: IndicatorDescriptionImpact on Gold PricesGlobal Economic StabilityReflects overall economic health and investor confidenceOften inversely related; uncertainty boosts gold pricesInflation RatesMeasure of the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is risingHigher inflation tends to increase gold prices as it's seen as a hedge against currency devaluationCentral Bank PoliciesDecisions on interest rates and monetary policyLooser monetary policies can lower currency value, raising gold demand Moreover, by harnessing insights from current financial news and forecasts, I am better positioned to gauge future market trends. This analytical rigor not only fortifies my investment decisions against the complexities of the gold market but also empowers me to optimize my portfolio's performance in alignment with broader economic indicators. Understand the Factors That Influence Gold Coin Prices To discern the best gold coins for an investment portfolio, an acute understanding of factors that sway their prices is paramount. Key among these is the spot price of gold, which acts as a global benchmark for the day-to-day valuation of this precious metal: a critical indicator for when to buy or sell. - Examining mint reputation and coin rarity can illuminate potential value beyond weight and purity. - Seasonal demand variations and geopolitical climate also play their parts, subtly shaping market conditions and investor sentiment. - Furthermore, investigating the collectibility and artistic merit of coins offers insight into their numismatic value, which may appreciate independently of gold market trends. Additionally, comprehending how taxation and fees interplay with gold coin ownership influences the net gain from an investment. It’s not solely about the intrinsic value of the metal but also the overheads that accompany buying, storing, and eventually selling the asset. This knowledge equips investors with a sharper lens through which to view potential acquisitions, ensuring choices align with both short-term objectives and long-term financial health. Research Historical Performance of Different Gold Coins To identify which gold coins might amplify the robustness of my investment portfolio, I turn to their historical performance as my guide. This exploration includes understanding how each coin has fared over years and even decades, during both turbulent and stable financial climates. Insights from their past can reveal patterns: some coins may demonstrate remarkable resilience in the face of economic downturns, while others might benefit disproportionately during times of prosperity. These histories contribute significantly to predicting possible future performance: Coin NameYears of Strong PerformanceImpact of Economic ConditionsAmerican Gold Eagle2008-2012, 2020Thrives in economic uncertaintyCanadian Gold Maple Leaf2001-2005, 2011-2015Benefits from stable gold prices and market demandAustralian Gold Kangaroo1999-2003, 2016-2018Performs well during both stable and volatile markets By comparing these historical trends, I equip myself with the knowledge to choose gold coins that not only enrich my portfolio's diversity but also solidify its defense against market unpredictability. Venturing into the gold coin market demands more than a keen eye for precious metals. Next up, let's uncover the secrets behind choosing reputable gold coin sellers, ensuring your investment shines as brightly as your newly acquired treasures.
Evaluating the Reputation of Gold Coin Sellers
Tumblr media
Choosing the right gold coins for your portfolio requires not just an understanding of the coins themselves but also where you're buying them from. The market is vast, and navigating through it demands diligence. Key to this is engaging with reputable dealers who have staked their reputation on the quality and authenticity of their merchandise. Positive reviews from other investors, credentials that speak to their standing in the precious metals community, and memberships in recognized associations can all serve as indicators of a dealer’s trustworthiness. Equally, understanding the nuances of a seller's return policies and guarantees furnishes an additional layer of security, ensuring that your investment is protected. This careful evaluation of a dealer's credibility forms the foundation of a solid investment strategy, safeguarding my assets and providing peace of mind. Search for Reputable Dealers With Positive Reviews My journey toward acquiring gold coins for my portfolio invariably leads me to conduct meticulous research on dealers. I prioritize those with stellar reviews across platforms like Better Business Bureau, TrustPilot, and financial forums, where the experiences of fellow investors illuminate the reliability and integrity of a seller. Positive feedback, especially those detailing customer service excellence, instills confidence that I'm engaging with a reputable entity. Moreover, I value dealerships that have transparent, positive interactions with their customers online. Observing how a dealer responds to inquiries or addresses concerns on public forums offers me a glimpse into their commitment to customer satisfaction. A dealer who actively maintains a positive online presence and swiftly resolves any potential issues demonstrates a level of professionalism and respect for their clientele, reassuring me of their trustworthiness as a source for my investment needs. Verify Seller Credentials and Association Memberships In my quest to enhance my investment portfolio with gold coins, I place a high premium on validating the credentials and association memberships of sellers. This step is fundamental, as it helps in aligning with dealers that uphold the high standards of the precious metals industry, ensuring my investments are both genuine and legally sourced. Ensuring a seller is a member of recognized industry associations, such as the Professional Numismatists Guild or the American Numismatic Association, grants me confidence in their expertise and ethical practices. These affiliations act as a seal of approval, signaling that the dealer adheres to the strict ethical and professional guidelines required by these bodies, offering me an additional layer of security in my investment decisions. Understand the Return Policies and Guarantees Offered Knowing a seller's return policy and any guarantees they offer is akin to having a safety net beneath your investment pursuits. It's essential for me to understand these aspects thoroughly because they directly affect the level of risk I'm taking on. If a gold coin doesn't meet my expectations or if there's an unexpected issue, a clear and fair return policy ensures I can rectify the situation without significant loss. Guarantees of authenticity and quality are another cornerstone of my buying criteria. When a dealer offers these assurances, it tells me they stand behind the integrity and value of their gold coins. This kind of commitment not only bolsters my confidence in the purchase but also reinforces the trustworthiness of the dealer, making it easier for me to make informed and secure investment choices. Shifting gears, let's dive into the liquidity of gold coins, a factor that can supercharge your portfolio's flexibility. The adventure continues as we explore how these treasures convert into cash.
Considering the Liquidity of Gold Coins for Your Portfolio
Tumblr media
Transitioning to the liquidity aspect of gold coins within your investment portfolio requires a refined strategy, ensuring you're not just parking your money but also enabling its smooth re-entry into the market when desired. Evaluating the ease with which specific types of gold coins can be sold, scrutinizing the market demand for various coins, and comparing the buyback policies of different sellers are pivotal steps in this process. These considerations directly impact my ability to not only recoup my investment but also capitalize on potential profit margins. This segment of my investment strategy sharpens my focus on selecting gold coins that promise not just value growth but also flexibility and ease of liquidation. Evaluate the Ease of Selling Specific Gold Coin Types When assessing the ease of selling various gold coin types, I direct my attention toward widely recognized and high-demand coins such as the American Gold Eagle and the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. Their universal recognition and acceptance not only in the United States and Canada but around the globe make them a more liquid option, facilitating swift and advantageous sales whenever necessary. I also consider the market's current preferences and trends to gauge which gold coin types will be easier to liquidate. While less common sovereign coins might offer unique investment opportunities, their niche appeal can limit immediate selling opportunities compared to more ubiquitous bullion coins with a proven track record for liquidity. Determine the Demand for Various Gold Coins in the Market Determining the demand for various gold coins in the market requires a keen observation of global economic trends and investor sentiment. My strategy encompasses monitoring the popularity of specific coins, such as the American Gold Eagle or the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, which consistently hold leading positions due to their trust and recognition across the investment community. Additionally, I explore the burgeoning interest in coins from mints renowned for their quality and artistic value, including the Perth Mint‘s Australian Gold Kangaroo. Understanding these market preferences enables me to select coins that are not only valuable but also have a high likelihood of maintaining or increasing their demand over time, ensuring a robust and liquid portfolio. Compare the Buyback Policies of Different Sellers In my quest to optimize my gold coin investments, I always take the time to dissect and compare the buyback policies offered by different sellers. This critical analysis helps to ensure that if the need arises to liquidate part of my portfolio, I am partnered with dealers who offer competitive, fair, and transparent terms, minimizing potential losses and maximizing returns. Diligent comparison of these policies also allows me to gauge the reliability and customer-centric approach of sellers, which, in my experience, directly correlates with the overall satisfaction and security of my investment. Engaging with sellers who prioritize clear and advantageous buyback options affords me the peace of mind that my investments are not just in gold but also in trustworthy relationships. Exploring the liquidity of gold coins opens up a world of financial strategy; it's a journey through the heart of wealth management. Buckle up as we accelerate into understanding the premiums over spot price for gold coins, where the real game of investment savvy begins.
Assessing the Premiums Over Spot Price for Gold Coins
Tumblr media
As we venture further into the art of selecting the best gold coins for an investment portfolio, a critical factor to weigh is the premiums charged over the spot price of gold. Understanding what constitutes a premium, comparing these added costs across various gold coins and sellers, and calculating the long-term value of these premiums are pivotal steps in refining investment decisions. These premiums are more than just additional charges; they encapsulate factors like coin rarity, minting costs, and the coin’s market demand. Hence, dissecting these premiums affords us a clearer perspective on the actual investment value each gold coin holds. Read the full article

U.S. Marines ban Confederate flag
“…This symbol has shown it has the power to inflame feelings of division. I cannot have that division inside our Corps.
Marines are committed to Country, Corps, and our fellow Marines. While we serve on this team, we must respect the views of other Marines and embody the priorities of the team. Building strong teams requires seeing things through each other’s eyes; walking in each other’s shoes. When we do so, it is not uncommon for us to find that ideas we held in our youth, or language we thought was common, was in fact considered offensive and unacceptable to others.
To do my duty and build this team, I must focus on the constant and timeless values that we share with the Navy—Honor, Courage, and Commitment. We must remove those symbols that have the effect of division and not mere disagreement.
I am asking every Marine to focus on the team and the symbols that bring us together—the eagle, globe and anchor. The stars and stripes. Our battle colors. Our MarPat uniform. Team over self: that is how we must operate to fight and win.”

Image #1: Marine Corps Metal Sign: With the inclusion of many symbolic imagery such as the bald eagle (representing the USA) and the Eagle Globe and Anchor (representing the USMC) along with several famous slogans representing the Marine Corps, this design of this sign proves to be very patriotic not only for the Marine Corps, but also for the United States of America.
Image #2: Spartans Will Poster: A much simpler poster, it includes the Spartan Logo, and the slogan "Spartans Will". The colors utilized clearly resemble the official colors trademarked by MSU. The font used in the slogan is very clear and big to the point where it becomes the main focus of the entire poster.
Image #3: Marines Pillow: This demonstrates how graphic design may even be utilized for things such as pillows, blankets, etc. Things that you typically would not associate with graphic design. The inclusion of the Marine Corps logo and their slogan "The Few and the Proud" demonstrates its purpose to be promoting the Marine Corps as well as being a comfy pillow.
Image #4: Fire Extinguisher Sticker: The design behind this sticker is significant due to the coloring and the patterns in which are implemented. The bright red coloring signifies potential hazard while the pattern is designed to grab the attention of the reader much easier.
Image #5: Detroit Tiger's Hat: Not only does this hat represent the Detroit Tigers with its logo, but the hat also includes a military camouflage design to represent the US military. The inclusion of both of these design elements gives the audience the message that the Detroit Tigers support the US military.
