Another good story
Marines love to mess FNG's especially grunts. One day while preparing for a field training op we were checking out the comm. systems. Ok this is old school comm. AN/PRC 77 or slang name the prick-77. We just got a fresh batch of FNG's and I had a couple of them working on them. When they were finished prepping them I asked them where the prick-E7 was. Of course they were totally lost so I told them to that they needed a Prick-E7 for the radios to work and for them to go ask Gunny where the prick-E7 was. Being FNG's they asked him right in front of the CO. Poor bastards were doing push-ups every time they saw Gunny for the entire field op. Gunny knew exactly who put them up to it and that’s how I got my week end "volunteered" duty. It was worth it!!! No offense Jay I like Gunnery Sargents, you don't get much past them.
