Thanks Chicken! You’re the greatest!!

The clock is ticking.

Live-in girlfriend does my hair and be arc with a buzzer every month or two. Saved a couple hundred bucks every 2 years.

There s nothing illegal or immoral about cutting costs where possible. If you cut the cost of operating a restaurant you can make the cost of serving customers lower and returns on the investment higher. It’s what every consumer operation should do, whether a restaurant, a clothing store, or a shoeshine specialist.

First:

Jack Ruby walking through line of police at Dallas PD and sticking his pistol into Lee Harvey Oswald’s gut and firing, thereby killing John F Kennedy’s assassin. Saw it live on TV.

Second:

Sitting in Econ class a few months prior to the above, when the school wide Public Announcement system came on the classroom loudspeaker and announced that President Kennedy had been shot and was being taken to a Dallas hospital.

My first thought was that Lyndon Johnson would not be capable of running the country, so who could take over for the vice-president to run the country. My immediate second thought was a reaction to the fact that
all of the other people in the class except the professor stood up and cheered, very glad that JFK had been killed. Remember that was in 1963 when the ongoing struggles to integrate the schools and universities were being met with extreme hostility throughout LA, ARK, MISS and the rest of the south. LSU was one the first southern uiversities to accept even a few token Black students.

Rough time. Hang in there. Prayers for you.

The mistake that accounts for the lack of running success by weakening the OL. With the running game weakened much easier to defend Nuss and the passing attack.

I wouldn't trade my boot camp experience for anything.

Ditto, best decision of my life, and it still has effects on my attitudes and positivity about life now 63 years later! The details of what you can learn about life and yourself in 3 months on Parris Island can’t be run through in a few words on Tiger Droppings. I am sure that there are Marines who feel years later that they made the wrong decision in opting for the Corps, but I haven’t met any.
My initial boot camp platoon strength was 72 recruits, and about 24 did not make it to graduation. Some of those were “set back” to another platoon in an an earlier phase of the training cycle, and eventually graduated, .. some were discharged for the good of the Corps, because of lack of physical or emotional fitness and did not become Marines. All learned something valuable about themselves. I would love to find my Senior DI just to say “Thank You Sir”. SFMF!
