No "stress cards" at San Diego, Parris Island or Quantico.
Sorry, my bad. ARMY boot camp. My nephew joined a few years ago.
Anyone presenting a stress card in my BCT Company (Ft Knox,1969)would have been taken behind the barracks by the junior DI (just back from 'Nam) and administered an "attitude adjustment".
You got that right. My son just celebrated his first year in the MARINES. His description of BC at PI was anything but.
In fact I run a board for the familys from his Bat at Parris Island and many have shared what our fighting men endured.
I have to say the article is a spot on desciption of MARINE corp BC.
If you're not stressed....they're not doing their job.
