BTW: My son (19 years old) is actually loving boot camp and has
done
well in all PT exercises, including Pugil Sticks. I would bet that
he could knock out a couple of the older confrontational aholes here
within a minute, including some non boaters who hide behind silly
handles. Although it might take a bit longer, I would guess my
daughter could do the same. ;-)



Shoulda joined the NAVY!

Excellent!


Is this any way for officers to act?....(c;
We enlisted pukes are SUPPOSED to be crazy.....

I think the Navy has changed since our time, Larry.

The buildings and dress may have changed with the USMC recruit training,
but
the traditions endure, including how they train and shape our young men
and
women.

How they train and shape has changed a whole hell of a lot in the past 30
years. Many of the things they used to do are no longer legal. Hell, the
DI's may not even be able to yell at them now! I know they can't call the
'cruits the derogatory names from the past.


Amen to that.
