Recruits at Parris Island were brought out to enjoy the fireworks show tonight. That's their flashlights in formation on the parade deck. What a warm-n-fuzzy thing for the DI's to do.

I was at PI for July 4th, and we got marched out to the grinder for the fireworks the same way. Our Drill Instructors actually took it kinda easy on us for the day too, looking back at it.
Of course, on the 5th we more than made up for it!
But yes, that was an experience to remember.

Easter Sunday, 2003 of all days. We were cooking spam and Vienna sausages over a pallet fire when the IDF started coming in. F-ing republican guard. Couldn't even let us finish Easter dinner.
