When I was in USMC Boot Camp in 1966, and a “Smoking Formation” was called, the non-smokers (maybe a third of the platoon) were punished by having to run to the barracks, grab their toothbrushes and ‘Non-smokers: Brush your fangs!’

Air Force Basic Training, 1985. “Smokers, fall to the rear.”

While the non-smokers remained in formation at Parade Rest or At Ease we could stand in a loose cluster, smokin’ and jokin’.

I think the non smokers secretly hated us.

My son trained at Parris Island in 1986——no smoking allowed for the recruits.
