Yes. Marine boot camp taught me 2 lessons:

2) There is always a weapon.
Thank you for your service . Marines are the Best of the Best! Had the honor of visiting Belleau Wood and drinking from the Bulldog Fountain last year. My son is a 20 yr. Marine, retired.
My father taught me to always be aware of my surroundings when he taught me to hunt. It is not a conscious thing, but as natural as breathing. I wish women today were taught to be resourceful instead of being taught what color of fingernail polish is best...if you get my meaning. You are absolutely correct inasmuch as You are always within reach of a weapon. Use it!
Air Force boot camp taught me 2 lessons:
1) Your boots can always use more polish.
2) If you go for seconds on the Steamship Round, you better finish it all.
My dad was a prison guard and taught me the same thing.
The “creativity” found inside those walls is stunning.
People always ask why I have a spike buck antler on my key chain.
I ask why don’t they?
