A friend of mine has a daughter in the army. She was telling me about a "blue card" that was given to some recruits. It sounds like the blue card was a permission slip to go home when things got rough.
This is unconfirmed but I've heard that all recruits get a blue "stress card" that gets them a time-out when they can't handle the stress and need a break.
This was instituted during slick willie.
They also determined that the packs were too heavy for the 'girls' so they bring them up to the front in a truck instead.
All standards are lower for 'girls' and now it seems we're to lower the standards for the boys too.
Heaven help us.
