Hollywood Marines? Oh yea, the boot camp where suntan oil and sunglasses are on your duece gear issue!
Hey, we're cutting him some slack. Told him congrats for serving. He can always do his four, get an Honorable Discharge, REALIZE his mistake, and join our BELOVED Corps!
Suntan oil and Sunglasses? I don't seem to remember those on my issue...let's see....Surfboard, check...wetsuit, check...phone numbers of hot CA women that hang out at the beach, check...nope...had to buy the sunglasses myself. Besides, they would only issue BCGs anyway. Really hard to balance that surfboard and my M-16 on the "motivation hump" during 2nd phase though. :)
Of course the difference here is...if he wanted to upgrade and earn his EG&A...he has to go back through boot. A Marine never has to go through boot again to change service...not that any self-respecting Marine ever would.
