#2 after carelessly handling his gun.
I can just see every Marine cringe as they read this, then burst out laughing. You either have to be a Marine, or have been closely associated with them, to understand the double entendre in that last sentence.

Me mum taught me that one, she did! (Mom was a Marine for more years than either she OR I cared to remember. Heh)

#7 Think of it as being much the same sort of work: judicial use of authority and discipline to mold impressionable young minds, and better fit them for adult responsibilities.

#8 Thank you, Sgt. Mom. For what it's worth, I'm the same Ed Becerra that posted to your thread about that idiot Quaker/deserter a while back.

And yeah, having a Mom who made E-4 and was going for E-5 (I'm afraid my unexpected arrival *grin* got in the way of her promotion.. heh.) was very educational for me.

You have NO idea how her face BEAMED when I was called to the front of the formation and my CO pinned the three stripes on my collar. One of the defining moments of my life.
