Dan Rather as a "young marine."
Sure looks like the picture they take of you in boot camp. I still have mine. But I did make it through boot camp and I did serve out my entire enlistment and I was honorably discharged. Semper Fidelis. Except for Dan. He’s just a pathetic cretin.
They should have kicked him out for that dumb azz smile.
I completed 3 years in the Marine Corps and I never had a dress blue uniform. I came out a “slick sleeve” Staff Sargent and earned every one of those stripes, still have my dress green uniform, but never had a set of dress blues. I got discharged in Feb 1954,( probably before Dannie Boy got there)
The only people that didn’t complete boot camp while I was there were in the psycho ward and they had a large platoon of them.
