One month into Marine Corps training in San Diego, California, preparing for a ten-mile march in 100-degree weather when a jeep drove up with a large radio in the back. "Who knows anything about radios?" our drill instructor asked. Several hands went up, and anticipating a ride in the jeep, recruits began listing their credentials. Everything from a degree in communications to a part-time job in a repair shop was declared. The DI listened to all the contenders, then pointed to the most qualified. "You!" he barked. "Carry the radio."
Never in service. Enough friends and family are, that in training rule 1 is never raise hand or volunteer.
Rule # 3................when walking around, keep something in your hands at all times...............................
So just like at work....... I learned my lesson there... 2 months on 3rd shift turned into 16 months....
