WOW sandman thanks for the post.  That article braught back SOOOOOO many memories.  Marine DIs are the most creative men on this earth when it comes to providing non-leathal pain.  They are also the most caring people when it comes to making sure a kid has a chance to make a difference in his life.  

After my graduation so many moons ago I went to the E-club because my DIs said they'd be there and a couple of other recruits were going.  We tried to buy our DIs some beers but they were more content on milk and cookies....go figure.  The meanest bastards I've ever met were sitting in a bar drinking milk and eating cookies.
