When I was in it was called “stereo”. Now I guess they’d call it THX, LMAO!

That recruit looked like he had too much hair to me.

Note that they can't touch a boot anymore? And that profanity is outlawed?

I know. I know. Old Corps.

In our Platoon’s “Graduation Album” — my lip still showed the not fully split received about 11 weeks PRIOR to graduation....

Infraction?
My “Aye Aye Sir” wasn’t quite loud enough - and was interpreted to be an intentional insult... (It was)

In those days — “physical contact” was at the D.I.’s discretion..
Even after the tragic drowning event on P.I..

LOL! It wasn’t the AYE AYE.. It was the omission:

Aye Aye Sir, Left, Right, 1, 2, Aye Aye Sir!

Semper Gumby!

Yeah ... I sunburned my lower lip at Parris Island and as a result it split ... not that bad
except every time it started to heal one of my DI's would take note and force it open again.
Sadistic bast**** that they were they thought it was great sport.

Aaah,yes.Ft Knox,KY....1969."Echo,13,4...we always come back for more...Echo,Echo,Echo galore!" A thousand miles from home...not knowing if I'd wind up in Vietnam (I didn't) and having a southern cracker DI who didn't like Yankees.

Those were the days!

At MCRD San Diego in 1969, I made the mistake of asking the Platoon Commander for my job back (had been a squad leader and got relieved). The DI’s response was similar to this video, so there are lots of memories coming back.

A couple days later, the Platoon Commander reinstated me and I graduated boot camp as a PFC.

Semper Fi,
