Things you still do from boot camp

[SgtHopperUSMC]

Never say "repeat" over my radio at work. Still have high and tight. Still bark.

bootcamp..hmm 1965...Take charge of this post and all government property in view.... My favorite general order is Sound the Alarm in case of fire.
I remember heating up polish to shine shoes and some ladies pulled out
"10-Day" deodorant pads and shined them up in a few seconds. 10 days???
Someone PLULEEze correct me.

Never ever late EVER
I speak up clearly and straighforward
burn off irish pennants
walk tall and straight
still say deck, head,
overhead, "say again" and OMG "by your leave" by accident
I am prepared in my home and in my car for any emergency
with gear, food and medicine
I plan everything and then backward engineer for failures and
reassment - drove my husband nuts
Humble :-)
I field stripped butts until I quit smoking 12 years ago.
I am not a normal woman
I'm S/F!

Haha this morning when I was standing outside of my classroom waiting for class everyone was just leaning up against the walls or, worse yet, sitting on the deck. I caught myself standing with my feet at a 45 degree angle. I felt kinda crazy, so I quickly snapped to parade rest. You all still think I'm normal, right?

You're asking this bunch about "normal"?

I still think kill as a response to anything is moto.

"Alright, i'll talk to you later"

"Kill"

Press my cover with a roll of toilet paper and step off with the left foot. I like to frequently use the term "Hello Retard..." as a way to start off a good session of correcting Marines.

Read this thread Wounded Marine Conquers Berkeley and you might be tempted to take some buddies to Berkeley and lock and load. I know it totally p*ssed me off. California is truly the granolla state.

Why SSgt. do you do that, did you have a bad experience while you were in, or did you think that you was going to?

Hmmm the inmates here at the prison do the same thing! ha ( No I am not an inmate )

As funny as this may sound I still fold my pillow in half and this is the only way to get my grape to sleep at night.

I still:

-Lace my boots the same way, and always tuck in the laces.
-Once I get home and take my boots off the flip-flops go on until lights out.
-Left foot first! Left boot put on first! Left pant leg on first!
-Cant stand if my belt is longer that 2" off the buckle
-Eat chow like it is the last time I will.
-Hydrate all day long with two huge glasses before bed.


Damn!!! Until I read this post I didn't think I still did anything from BOOT.....
