It didn't fly in 1964 either. The CO told us in a big meeting to report any DI that physically struck us. He added that if we were screwing up and he kicked us in the butt, he didn't want to hear about it.

My Dad was career military so I had been raised on Army and USAF posts/bases. So, at 21 YOA, I pretty well knew the score and how to conduct myself. Other than being 4 years behind when starting a career, I have absolutely no regrets about joining. Being from Fort Worth and Muleshoe, Texas I had never met people of different backgrounds. There were Scandanavians, Italians, Cajuns, Jews, etc. I don't think I had ever even met a Catholic. It opened my eyes to a lot of things.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
