In response to Cpl. Mike Winnie, about the use of buckets at MCRD SD. I wen through SD in 1956, and our buckets came in very handy. First of all it was used as a punishment over your head and th DI would hammer on it. It was also used to soak our T shirts and skivvies in bleach water. Then we used it to move this gigantic pile of sand across the little grinder, when we go theret the DI said he liked it better wher it was, so we had to move it back, of course we moved it with our buckets. I guess this covers most of it. Oh! yes we also used it to sit on.
