Finished Boot camp!

Where did you go for basic? Sanitary conditions were deplorable a few years ago at Great Lakes.

"Welcome to basic. Make sure you wear your scarf and never wash it. Feel free to trade it around with your buddies. Oh, that recruit we're escorting out after three weeks, his heart condition preceded his entry into the Navy..."

Of course, you may not be able to answer right now.

Yeah. It's hit and miss whether you get through or come down with some nasty bloodsucking disease. It's probably better now than it was, though.

Awww come on guys, great lakes wasn't that bad? Or maybe its just the memory fading...I went during the summer, god knows it was fracking hot enough. I mean, stomach flu isn't serious right?

For me, sub school sucked more. It was in Rotten Groton, Ct and being from LA, winter sucked.

You going to be a sailor, or the Navy's Soldiers (not the marines, but the Navy deploys Sailor-Soldiers in Iraq as well).

What's your day job?

Man, USMC bootcamp does not permit any contact with the outside world other than mail, or in case of emergencies, phone. We weren't allowed on the computers... I don't think there were any. But anyway, congratulations on almost making it. I'll congratulate you again when you actually graduate.

For the first few weeks we were yelled at consistently.
