1961 you say? We might have crossed paths if you studied bayos in he Marine Corps, anyway. I’ll betcha if I tossed you a Garand you’d remember how to execute a butt stroke-——which this dummy in Utah needs. They say, now, that he’s not talking. A couple of well placed ‘strokes could adjust that attitude quickly?
🙂 No the context was a little different, but 'yes', plenty of time on the M1 Garand - "Don't let your thumb get caught in the breech!" 😄
