My birthday was during boot. The DI came out of his hutch and walked right up to me and said, "Is today your birthday, Private Howard?" My heart dropped through my stomach. Apparently, unbeknownst to me at the time, my mother had mailed me a tin of cookies.
The platoon then proceeded to "celebrate" my birthday beginning with mountain climbers and push-ups. "I like to play, I like to fool, I like to go, to Sunday School."
Fortunately, we didn't end up in the rose garden or the motivation pit.

LOL!
We had a bonehead get a box of fudge. Watched him chow down on it followed with a canteen of water chaser. As he was running to the head to yak his guts out, I remember Sgt Upchurch yelling, "you get that scuzz on my deck, I'll swab it up with you!"
I shoulda kept a journal.

One of my buddies who had already been in the Corps a year sent me a letter...written on the outside - "So your DI is Gay?" (more expletive than that) and "I Love You Too"...I don't know how long I was pushing.
But I did get to spend my first Christmas Eve in the Corps on Firewatch. Edson Range, watching cars go by on I-5. Kinda puts life in the Corps in perspective. The rest of the world is oblivious that you are standing watch, but are able to go about their daily lives because you are.

Not a fun time. Was worse when the DI was pissed off and called for his "GP" recruits on the Qdeck. Anyone ever get
"in the rigging" for getting caught goldbricking?

Amend that to read, "the rest of the USA" and you're bang on! Truer words were never spoken.

A couple of the drill sergeants in my Basic company were functionally illiterate.
But they damn sure knew their way around weaponry and all the rest of the usual Army stuff, and how to...erm, motivate us into learning.
