LOL, even if it was from a communications Vet.

Our MARINE daughter was in communications. She spent her first year out of Parris Island in Okinawa. Said all Marines need to be deployed out of the States because it gives them comradeship within the Corps.

When she trained Marines at Quantico on the field radios, she could tell right away those that had not spent any time overseas.

Being just over the minimum weight, she was the one who climbed to the top of their tents to fasten communication wiring. Got in trouble for it more than once.
