This tweet has everything. Marines rocking the morning-after, puked-so-hard-my-shirt-came-untucked look. Incredibly patient spouse. Soberest guy standing at a respectful parade rest in his PT gear. A junior sailor officiating in his Navy-issue raincoat. Hooters. A wedding night in the company bay. A modified judogi. Divorce.
