Friday evenings you can spot the new Marines at local restaurants with their girlfriends, little brothers, and parents.

I remember graduation day: I wanted to -

1.Get FAR away from MCRD

2. Wolf down the biggest steak I could find and

3. Sleep for several days straight.

I got the first two, and went home on leave to the room I had rented from a friend. The lights in my room clicked on at 0430. I exploded out of bed and was halfway dressed and out the door before I realised that I'd been had. :-)

As soon as I get to feeling better, and the weather warms up a bit, I might have to get on the bike for a trip down to see the graduation ceremony. I haven't been there in years.

0430! That's a true friend!

The Friday Pass In Review is still something to see!

When I was on leave after boot camp the local radio station started every morning playing Reville. As I had the radio on all night I woke up to Reveille halfway through the tune. I thought I was in deep sh*t!. The cat went flying across the room as I was diving to the end of my bunk in a frantic search for my cammies and boots. As I was wondering who hid my footlocker, I started wondering who had carpeted the barracks floor in the middle of the night. My mother who happened to be wondering by thought it was one of the funniest things she had ever saw.
