The bad news motivated the drill instructors that much more.
I honestly do feel that I am a role model for young people.
For me, it's an honor for the military to ask me to go to Iraq, Afghanistan, or GITMO. I'm happy to go.
I hate to hear 'Less is more.' It's a crock of crap.
Back in those days intimidation was the greatest tool the drill instructor had. Without that tool, he would not have had control.
