180 episodes of the Quad And Gun Club and 39 demerits?

Most we had from '67 through '71 was 6 months restrictions and 120 tours.

Some genius in one of the duckbutt companies in 3rd Battalion got this for dressing his girlfriend in full-dress salt and pepper for a parade just before graduation in '70. Walked his ass off for a straight week so he could graduate. Boo was on him like stink on dog crap after the parade when a lock of her hair fell out of the shako in front of the reviewing stand.

I like what the genius did—ballsy and funny.

The most we could get (I was in the same year as the genius) was a #1, which was 15 (demerits) 4 (months barracks confinement) and 60 (penalty tours). One of my roommates got 2 of them.

Ahhh, memories:

The bad thing about the “Wednesday and Saturday Afternoon Hiking and Gun Club” was that we could only walk off 5 a week, 2 hours on Wednesdays and 3 on Saturdays, both of which happened to be the only times we were allowed to go into Lexington. I wonder who thought that up? It certainly made life inconvenient.

Forgot to compliment you on your tagline. It’s really good.
