Fixed that for you. No question about the special treatment. A ribbon for a six week basic training with co-ed dances? That's awesome! Where I was stationed in the UK, on a former Royal Air Force base, had some pretty good barracks. The single Marines thought they'd died and gone to Heaven. The small Air Force detachment on base ... they got a sub-standard housing allowance for staying in the very same barracks. Just awesome! I spent 4 months at Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo, current home of the creepy cultists. They put us up in rooms that you'd be happy to get in a 4-star hotel. For junior enlisted. Coffee machines. Fridges. Wall-to-wall carpet. Televisions. And best of all - wait for it ... wait for it - MAID SERVICE! Down we dive, spouting out flames from under, attaboy! Give her the gun ...!

And, if anyone is ever bored, I give you Skippy's List.
Oh, yes. Skippy would love the swamp, methinks.
Ha. That's all funny, because its all just about perfectly true. Especially the pastries part. Oh - and Navy Corpsmen don't get the "squid" treatment any more than a SEAL does. Some of the toughest "Marines" I ever met were actually Navy Corpsmen. I distinctly remember during the long humps in boot camp, when I wanted to just lay down and cry, watching the Corpsman beside us .... humping a pack about twice as big, since he had to carry all the medical crap ... and then actually running up and down the company, checking on the weak, lame, injured, and dying.

Scout, you should know that Marines don't wear hats. We wear covers? Right Jake?

I remember when I was in the Army, we were out in the field during a week of nothing but downpours. I was in my tent
You had tents? Damn. We just got wetter and wetter and wetter. The only time I was in a tent in the military was during basic training. REMF
Shoulda been mech. We got to sleep on/in vehicles. One of the best spots was on the canvas covered trailer. Between the bows... sweet. In the Cav, we used hammocks and ponchos.
