Inspections

Marine story....In boot camp my friend Darryl Collins was always lined up across from me during inspections. I'd look across and see the fear in his face that I'd start to laugh which wasn't good. I got caught by the DI and ended up in the DI hut on my knees with a 5 gal. bucket of sand on my chest....THANKS DARRYL...I also remember somebody having problems in the pool. I couldn't remember if it was Burnell Guyton. To test your memories...do you remember the marine who was overweight and got sent to the fat man's platoon? I believe it was T.S.Hutchens...He came back into the platoon and no one recognized him not even the DI's...his clothes just hung on him.The DI yelled at him because he looked so sloppy. He told him the service didn't issue him a uniform like that...I'm not saying that to be mean and nasty but right now I'm in a position where I could lose 20 lbs.heh,heh.....I still haven't heard any comments about that football game......have to sign off for now, my mind's getting weaker.....
