Default Re: America's Finest USMC

I went back to Parris Island for NCO training and stayed at the old Coast Guard station on the point, right in the middle of the Women Marines Training Depot. That was an interesting assignment, to say the least. We ate at the same mess as they, and when they started filing in, we had to remain seated until they ALL left, something about not getting them all hot and bothered at the sight of men other than recruits. Funny thing, their DI's were all women, but the men DI's did all the marching and stuff. I heard stuff come out of the mouths of those women DI's that I never thought a lady would ever say; it put some of our DI's to shame! I want to go back when I get a chance, as I understand the old wooden barracks I enjoyed so much (2nd Batallion) have been replaced with modern buildings. Maybe I can get a chance to play golf there. You can bet your bottom dollar it will not be in June, July or August!
