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!
There was plenty of physical contact in 1967!
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.
nice vid....
Can you hear me now?
