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,
Then getting to the serious PT.
I just kept my mouth shut, didn't worry cause there is always somebody that is going to "get it"... I took my turn with everybody else.
We were all turds....
What you didn't want was to be somebody's "favorite" turd...bwahahahahaha or sh#t bird.
I was at quonset hut city in June of 67. Oh those fond memories. NOT!!!!
