The more the Corps changes, the more it remains the same. You should have seen Boot Camp before "The Ribbon Creek Incident," if you think this is something to get excited about.

That’s two days in a row that the Compost has run with a story that is yet to be unconfirmed regarding poor, poor, victimized Muslims. More will come I’m sure. CAIR will be happy to provide them with all kinds of fake stories.

If the heat went on that is bad. If they want to train them to be tough then remove the heating coil.

I would like to see the dryer. No normal dryer would turn long with 120+ pounds inside. Would bust instantly.

Many years ago, back in 1967, while stationed at Fort Irwin California in the Mohave desert, I was involved in laying communications for artillery training exercises (175 battery) for a lot of Iranians soldiers with their speckled red and white head scarfs...back when the Shaw ran that country and was aligned with the US. Without exaggeration, if one of those Arabs happened to cross the road a block or more away from you and you just happened to be downwind, the smell would almost knock you over. Now picture how bad it was if you had to work close with them or worse yet, be in a class room with a whole bunch of them. It would make your eyes water it was so bad. They, however, never seemed to notice it. We were told it was a cultural thing. Will never get over it.

Silly DI, he’s supposed to put him through the wash first.

SO? Fifty years ago teens used to go to a laundromat, put money in the machine and get inside for a ride!

It is NOT a new thing!

Now if they had hung the moslem from a pole to dry...

One of my cousins was a DI at PI at the time, different Company. Had some problems with the reporting of the incident.

More of my cousins were at PI in the early 60’s and thought Lee Emery did a good job but was a liberal compared to their DI’s.

Doesn’t seem that bad. Neighborhood kids did that to each other all the time. It was kind of a standing prank.

Gunnery Sgt. Hartman: “Oh sure that’s right private Haji, don’t make any effin attempt to get in the effing dryer! I’ll bet if there was some pu$$y in that dryer you could get in there!” (Okay, okay. A lame ‘Full Metal Jacket’ gag but I gave it a shot!)

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
If ‘they’ would have paid attention nothing would have happened.

I was about a year from enlisting and it just made me want to go more -

Of course, I had the Nuns of the 40s/50s to toughen us up for boot camp.

I really think the Sea Services ‘loved’ us Catholic School boys because we had been through most of what ‘they’ did to us and survived. AND we knew (for the most part) how to keep our mouths shut.

The ‘hardest’ part of Boot Camp is whipping a bunch of High School kids into men in a very short period of time.

The Nuns had prepared us for the early stages....
