BTW, do you even know
what a pugil stick is? They are used as a precursor to bayonet training.
They could, perhaps, cause a concussion if head gear wasn't worn, but

not normal. They are *not* something even your son would want to use as
a
weapon against us old guys.

That would be kinda like a Clint Eastwood movie. "Gonna hit me with your
stick, huh? BLAM!" Of course, *I'm* just kidding.

I can't figure out.................

Neither can I Reggie. According to my son 3 kids were knocked out in his
platoon during Pugil Stick fighting. My friends son was knocked cold
twice during his Pugil stick fighting. This is with helmets and body
padding.

I guess John never learned to use them correctly.

Don't forget our Johnny was in the army officers corp. They probably
slapped each other on the wrist with padded q-tips.
