I forgot. Spending our free time on Sundays washing our cloths by hand. The Parris Island Marines had their's done for them. I even remember a few who didn't believe me when I told them we washed our cloths by hand. And of course, we were issued boxers where they were issued briefs. But in San Diego we were allowed high and tights, they all were bald.

We used the wash troths my first week for washing, then we were issued mesh laundry bags with king kong safety pins.

From then on the wash troth was the smoking circle. Two rawcruits with steel buckets got up on the troths and walked around so we could deposit ashes.

Smokersssssssss, drawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww 2. was the sweetest sound ever!!


PS: I actually don't remember if we had boxers or briefs. :-)
