MCRD San Diego, CA. PLT 1091 Delta Co. Sr. Drill Instructor Sgt Pruitt. Graduated on 09 November, 1983. "We have the meanest Drill Instructors, they're all freakin' nuts. The Senior is a crazy man, the other three are wild. When compared to a savage beast, the savage beast is mild. They never have to beat us. They never will mistreat us. In fact these broken bones you see, happened accidentally!"

Yellow footprints

I see those yellow footprints and start laughing outloud. Only Marines would need a guide on where to place your feet when standing in formation.....

Sorry TTC, you know how the inter-service rivalry goes, we are all brothers in arms anyways.

Lol, yea and the results are miles above the others!

Yes sir, a Marine veteran. 3 years 1976-1979. I believe I have spoken with you in the past. Are you also from Georgia?

Maybe you qualify to be a lid to the jarhead then.....

My Pop was in Camp Pendleton. I was born there. may not be a jar head, but I'm his half pint.

WOW! Same here! But a jar head I became. MCRD San Diego. Anyone know how Rattle Snake Canyon got its name? Only place on the damned base they never found any. Think I was the only kindergardner in my school that knew the difference between blank & live rounds, and had a couple in my pocket to show. Hmm.. back then live rounds for show n tell = atta boy! Today? Kicked out & on a terrorist watch list. What the heck happened to this world?!?!
