That was my dad's advice as well as he held open the door to the 'old pickup truck at Ft Jackson's reception center.Shoot “expert” on rifle range & don’t screw up badly. Or as my dad said, “eyes & ears open, mouth shut”.
Try going to Parris Island with a name like MonkI didn't have a chance at basic with my last name either. Bisbee. I wasn't there 30 minutes before a drill sergeant strolled down the ranks and stopped in front of me and said, " Hey asshole. You gonna fly straight, there flat flip?" He and the other torturers had a laugh. I put him down in my book.....
( FRISBEE) "flat flip, flies straight" By WHAMO.
I'll bet so! We also had a dude from a farm in Georgia named Wisper. He caught hell too.....you can probably imagine how many times "I CANT HEAR YOU!!" was screamed into his ear....lol.Try going to Parris Island with a name like Monk
