Beaujock asked:

A di threw hard cover books at their heads, i was sent to the pit just for making an unauthorized water call. another thing about water, some recruits were made to do bends and thrusts after a 5 mile hump just because they drank water from their ccanteens without asking permission. a few recruits been held back a week in training for violations they never done, a guy was blanket partied, he ran to the DI’s duty hut, banged on the door, and the DI laughed in his face and slammed the door shut. my question, is, why the army, nay, and air force dont use these sadistic tactics but the marine corps feels they have the right to do so?
i just cant understand the point of the squad leader choking me, was that supose to improve my performance?

Beaujock asked:

an army and marine corps thing. my idea is, the govt should hire “undercover spies” to pose as recruits to curb basic training brutality, especially the marine corps. how many of u agree? wouldnt cost much to hire two ” recruits” in each armed service basic training regimen

Noah’s Mommy & Marine Wife. asked:

My MIL sent our son a blanket for Christmas and we’re having a heck of a time figuring out if it’s Marine Corps or Army. I would assume she wouldn’t get him an Army blanket simply because my husband’s in the Marines, but who knows.

Here are a couple pictures I took of it;

I know it’s hard to make out but does anyone have ANY idea? We’ve tried Googling old uniforms but cannot distinguish enough between the two.
Here is a picture of the majority of the blanket;

Yes, Blondie, my husband’s mother. I agree that it is a neat blanket and we will use it regardless simply because it was from her.

She’s just very proud of my husband(HER SON) and is all about the Marine Corps so I just didn’t think she’d get an Army blanket(although it’s hard to tell which it is), but it really doesn’t matter enough for us not to use it.
