The poor girl lacks your maturity. These ‘shamwow’ flim-flammers focus upon the immature.
It is just commonsense with me. I’d never allow that kind of crap to happen to me, or anyone else, even if it cost me my job.
My daughter would never allow this happen, and she’d call me right away. I’d be there in a heartbeat to end it.
Something tells me that today a whole bunch of people would NEVER survive a ‘Crossing the Equator’ ceremony or a USN Chiefs initiation even as toned down (comparatively speaking) as they were during during my time— 50s/60s
Would probably sue if sent to look for a left handed monkey wrench, stand a mail buoy watch or fetch a gallon of relative bearing or even elbow grease and many of the other ‘things’ that were done to pass the time...
also, a snipe hunt would never happen, though I do remember ‘grunion hunting’ on the strand while at Imperial Beach CA....or submarine races.....
OK...Let’s forget anything about your daughter...
YOU should NOT have called that girl an idiot...
LOL...Becoming a “Shellback” is a ritual, for sure....
She was for doing what she did.
She should have known better.
End of discussion.
Couldnt have been any worse than Basic Training.
Suck it up, Buttercup!!
B-3-1 (Ft. Knox 1981) pissed off the D.I. so bad about the 3rd week he hauled us out at 2am in our skivieys with steel pots and combat boots to run a few miles of PT so we were good and hungry for breakfast.
Thank you SFC Cofelt! After his choice and astute military training I was able to do 2 one hundred count pushups on demand!
