They were yelling but I wasn’t crying. Just to make part clear :-)
Mr. Megan was in the Corps and there was an Apache kid who was a recruit with him who wasn’t scared of anything and he never flinched when he got yelled at. A DI tried to provoke him once and he very quietly said to the DI, “You don’t scare me. A wise man would ask himself why not.”
After that the Apache boy was left alone.
