A MARINE AND HIS WIFE, on their way to the base commissary, came upon a recruit standing at attention by a mail-pickup station. Plastered to the young man's forehead were a number of postage stamps. Asked about his situation, the recruit responded, "Sir, my drill instructor says I'm such a foul-up that he's mailing me home to my momma."

My husband started out his military career as a marine. I know a drill Sargent would do something like this. One time when my husband missed picking up a cigarette butt on policing duty the drill Sargent put a bucket over my husbands head and made him smoke a pack of cigarettes. It's funny now but wasn't so funny then.
