As I remember it, it was a beautiful sunny day at MCRD San Diego 1977 when all hell broke loose! I was called front and center and all I could think, what now, what now. You see I went in on a buddy plan with my brother and cousin. My brother and I were in 2039 while my cousin was in 2040, but he was supposed to be in 2039 with us. He raised enough stink, that he got his wish and was moved into 2039. Note: never ever stir up the bees! Well these two jokers smoked, I didn't just never did like it. Well on that beautiful sunny day my blood thought they could get away with grabbing a smoke while doing some laundry and were caught. I was called to the front of the squad bay to do push ups until my DI got tired, which he was sitting in his office with his feet up on the desk. I never thought I could do so many push ups and had a pool of sweat around me. I turned 54 three days ago and I still do 30 push ups a day, most people think that I am a lot younger than what I look and it all comes back to that beautiful sunny day in MCRD San Diego. Semper Fi
