You could always tell a PI Marine on the west coast, their asses would drop dead on a hump in Pendleton’s back waters..Couldn’t handle the steep grades eh??

Couldn’t handle the steep grades
Oh yeah? I humped Sheep $hit Mountain boo-koo times carrying full pack/rifle along with the base plate AND tube for a four deuce mortar.
Just to make it interesting the CO (who had a swagger stick) had me hump the ammo too, plus the vat cans for noon chow ... while pulling a water-buffalo with a rope tied around my waist. :)
