You read my thoughts....it was a shock to me when i first went in...i got used to it...but not all northeners were that way....my best friends ended up being a Puerto Rican from Brooklyn, a mexican from San Antonio and a farm boy from North Dakota.
What used to tick off this kind of junior NCO was to get assigned to to them and they find out they didn't get a PVT Will Stockdale or Gomer Pyle.
