Rather was likely a ‘bedwetter’ who deliberately had himself ejected because he simply was not Man enough to complete the course.

Myself, I had gone to the Boston Recruiting Station in order to enlist in the Marines. The delayed enlistment rules would have prevented. me from being present for the birth of my first child. The Army had a different policy which did not hinder me on that. I joined the Army that day, went active a few months following. I truly admired that Marine recruiter too.

Some regret but it was fate. I salute all real Marines.
