My two best friends in the Corps were Hollywood Marines...needless to say we argued
endlessly about who had it worst in boot. One of my friends pointed out that there was no
worse torture than listening to the constant flights taking off from the near by airport and
knowing you were not going anywhere. I never admitted it at the time, but I now think he
was right. That would have driven me crazy.

At least in June, July, and Aug of 1951, at P.I., there was never any possibility of this argument...With all those WWII vets as D.I.'s, "going straight to hell" was considered an invitation to a luxurious vacation...
