I'll add. Me brother-in-law,me sisters husband got dis-charged from MARINES 2 years before meeeses got drafted and went in.
We had some long discussions and he told me exactly what to expect. that was a advantage for me. I was in great shape also. Most others were not. But by end. They were. Most DRILLS were fillin out time. They had spent a tour or 2 in NAM. They new what it be like and could tell what recruites could fill bill. So they doin a new job and had to filter out those that they felt could never make it. Some re-cyled and others flat out were given a general dis-charge. You A-HOLES make me feel like I need to do the same at PLOP.
