If my platoon leader found out I snubbed the president he would kick my ass himself. You salute the rank, not the man.

No shit. My DS would have pounded me into jelly. Seriously, the guy was an old tanker that had some serious mental issues, haha.

We liked to joke that he was hit in the head with the hatch one too many times!

Possibly as punishment for snubbing the president

(That was a joke, I have this weird feeling if I don’t clarify, your drill sergeant would haunt me somehow)

Yeah, he was a hardass, but he gave each one of us a handshake the day we graduated, so all was forgiven. We were no longer civilians, we were Soldiers, same as him.

Proudest day of my life.
