As a former Marine, one of my great disappointments while I lived in WDC was the closing of Quantico when there was snow. TOUGHEN UP for Goodness’ sake!
That’s shocking. Are these the same guys they send to the Marine Mountain Warfare Center in Bridgeport, CA to train in freezing mountain conditions?
Back in winter ‘77 - ‘78, there was a good blizzard in northern Ohio. I got up, got ready, and drove to work. Roads were a bit slippery and there were some drifts, but no big deal for this mountain guy. Got to work and the guard said “What are you doing here? Work’s been cancelled.” I’d never heard of work being closed before that. What a bunch of pussies. Seems like things shut down now if the sky gets cloudy and dark.
