An old friend told me that when he was in Boot Camp he was offered a choice on his first Sunday morning. Church, or “GI Party”. He chose GI Party....and cleaned toilets with a toothbrush.

Now that you mentioned that, this was one time where I do remember being sort of forced to a religious service. I remember our first Sunday in boot camp. They separated out the Catholics and Protestants. I don't recall any Jews or other religions. After the two were separated into two different groups, there were two recruits left over. The Senior Drill Instructor asked them what their problem was and they said they were athiest. My Senior Drill Instructor told them he has no athiest in his platoon and to get in one of the groups.

I totally forgot about that. I had that too. But since I don't think I'll go up in flames if I set foot in a church, I chose church and read a magazine during the service.
