When one is SL, how do you motivate or 'keep people in line' if you get your patrol on the last day. At PR I got my patrol also on the last day--everyone was dragging ass and didnt give a fuck. Best way to do this is to bust your ass every day when other people are in charge and help as many guys w...

....and instead formulating many of your values based on exposure to an inferior culture? I think I could really start to like this place. :D As to foreign students, we did have one dude from Finland. I thought he as an OK guy, if not a bit chubby. The RIs had a time with him one morning during PT ...

I thought this was a pretty cool thread, especially the posts made in the beginning by Slowpoke and Steadfast. When I came in on AD, there were still a couple of Vietnam vets in the reconaissance units, and I even got the opportuntiy to work on a team with the TL as a 1st Sgt (unusual for the Corps)...

USMC Combat HAHO

OK. A little background info to this story. The team is seriously stacked as there are at least two E-8s onboard (1st Sgt and a MSgt). One of these guys worked at MFF school as an instructor. I think the article says the lowest ranking Marine is a SSgt (E-6). The reason of the jump appears to be mor...

New Jughead
