[PRCo] Re: Coatesville Arson

[John Swindler]

They weren't locked up in the good old days.  Those marine recruits that didn't want to get with the program were sent to the 'bad boys' platoon.  They were up and out on the road around 3-4 in the morning for a walk around Parris Island with full sack.  The tour included the swamps, and an admonition to avoid the snakes.  Of course they had to be given a break every few hours.  That's when PT would be scheduled.  

 

After a few weeks and no signs of change in attitude, would be given a bad conduct discharge.

 

Ahhh, the good old days.
