Boys,

Parris Island in 77, The Basic School for Marine Officers (TBS) in 89, Persian Gulf in 91 aboard TRIPOLI, and a whole lot of practicing to be miserable has something to do with it. Swinging a 15 pound 8 gauge is nothing compared to the rigors of service.

Since you are not Marines perhaps if you watch this a hundred times something might sink into your Brain Housing Groups!

Motivation Ditch, Parris Island 1970. Only a Marine would know.

Thanks for that inspiring video Mark. Marines have always been "First To Fight". Did your DI explain to you about the gators that infest the marshes that surround PI?

Best Regards, George

I watched the video and enjoyed it. However, the high point of the video was when the drill instructor came onto the bus to "greet" the busload of recruits. I haven't thought about that moment for 47 years. It may have been the high point of my military career. Nothing much scared me for the next 24 months as much as that DI who greeted us in November of 1967.

My fireteam BARman was George (Possum) Brown, a 140 pound underground farmer from WBGVa. He could do wonders with that twenty pound rifle.
