Jimh... you watching the documentary on the Paris Island Boot camp on
PBS. It started at 2100 ADT here.


It is not being aired by either PBS channel here.

Thanks for heads up Don. I will keep my eyes open for it with future
broadcasts here.

Our cable military channel has had several shows on the USMC boot camp. I
am also about to read James Woulfe's book "Into the Crusible".

We received another letter from our son today. He remains upbeat and is
looking forward to seeing us on Family Day (11-8) and graduation (11-9)
then chilling at home for atleast 10 days. He volunteered for recruiting
assistance during his leave which will keep him at home another 2 weeks.

He cannot wait for a perch fry upon his return!

Thanks for keeping my recruit in mind Don!


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. ;-)



It does sound like you have provided your children with an excellent
value system.

Yes I have. They both know how to take care of themselves and there is
absolutely nothing wrong with that.

You didn't teach that to your kids? Perhaps yours are the ones everyone
picks on and beats up on for their lunch money. Like father, like son. Eh?




So you taught both of your kids to knock out older people?

Jim, did you teach them just to take on older guys? 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 it's
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 if JimH really taught his kids to beat up kids for
their lunch room money and is proud of the fact that he thinks both of
them can beat up on the "older folks" or if he is just over compensating
for some reason.

Of course, especially the older confrontational aholes.................like
you Reggie.



Did I say something negative about your boat, or your boating
preferences? I didn't even disagree with all of your negative
statements, I was just asking why your thought all boats smelled of dry
rot, mildew and unpleasant odors from the head.

I would think if I made derogatory comments about your boat or boating
lifestyle you might think that was conformational, so I didn't make any
judgmental or conformational comments.

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.
