Lots of good people in this story. Sounds like Bellhops got a conscientious employee but if Walter wants to be a good Marine he’ll need to double-time that 20 miles in boots with a full pack.
Just the fact that he can walk that far in the Alabama summer heat is something, especially with the current crop of recruits the military has to deal with now. Boot camp will be a breeze for him, physically anyway.
I’m glad GOD is still making guys like this. Nothing but admiration for his ‘want to’.
