Hi, Sgt. ,
I've been discharged from the Corps for quite a few years, but like so many others, I can't get it out of my system. I still practice what I've learned back then. Example, I have to make my own bed each morning. It is properly tight and straight, specially the bed spread. I always wonder if the DI would approve.
I still have a Marine Corps issue of my bunk blanket and carry it in my car for use in an emergency, if one should happen. I also have my utility cap that has seen its better days, but I can't 'retire' it. Only occasionally, do I wear it in my own privacy when doing some yard work. Here is a picture of it.
Semper Fi,
Chris Savas
