Boot camp was not a pleasurable experience. But the experience did do me good and made me what I am today.
MCRD San Diego PLT 3014 1982. We were given a thing that looked like a dress blues blouse, but only went down to just below the camera’s view. It wasn’t even a whole blouse. Smiling for any reason was frowned upon, as well. Guys who didn’t graduate but were still with us on photo day got their pics taken.
