Robbin, When Danny and I were in the Military Police academy together about one quarter of our platoon was comprised of Marines from Boot Camp in Paris Island. When they arrived there was unbelievable discipline among them. After several weeks they lost that degree of discipline and became more like us. Then one morning in formation our Drill Instructor advised them because of their attitudes and lack of discipline he had called their Gunnery Sgt. and arranged for a 6:00am muster the following morning. It was total chaos subsequent to that as they, the Marines, that is, spent the entire night starching their hats, uniforms and shinning their shoes. When they returned they did not speak to us for several days. Jeff
