Oh so true. The Academy was a JOKE by comparison. Yell at me and call me names. Hell, spend a week at MCRD Parris Island in the late 70's or before and talk about stress! I agree prior military especially USMC makes for a better employee. Semper Fi and have a good weekend. My 2 week vacation starts tomorrow. A chance to let the beard grow out and vegetate. I love my life!!!!!!!!
