Made me smile and remember the joys of Boot Camp and my wondering why I ever went there.. Playing football and being yelled at was good preparation. Thanks too for the videos.

In reply to Ed. Hope it put a smile on your face. Interesting response from your Dad. Our military survivors never forget. It's just that others learn to accept and move on. The hardest hit are the Viet Vets who came home with insults for risking their lives. My psych professor who is himself a Marine, said the best thing you can say to them is "welcome home."

Loved the bull joke and parting shot. I asked my father about his time in Marine Corp boot camp during WW2; ‘Was it really that bad, Dad?’ He replied, if you didn’t cause any trouble they would pretty much leave you alone.

Hi Raoul,
Here is a friend that I was drafted with Nov 19, 1965.
Both in the 4th Infantry Division.
He got The Medal of Honor (https://www.virtualwall.org/dw/WillettLE01a.htm)
May He Rest In Peace.
