I went to boot camp in the summertime. We had yellow shirts with the red USMC across the chest for our PT shirt. The first day I get my shirt back from the wash it has two painted red stripes across it. The same red stripes were painted across all of the recruits shirts who were fat bodies and/or were having a hard time staying up in the run. I was always mad about that as I was skinny as a rail and in great shape and didn’t have a problem with the run or physical exercise. Once I got down on the drill field I found out why I had two stripes spray painted across the shirt. Not only did they put them on the people who couldn’t hack it, they put it on all the fair skinned people (that’s me) who they feel might get heat stroke. It still didn’t help and still made me mad...
Semper Fi, Brother.
