Blood stripes.
Was a fun 2-3 days after....

BamaJeepsterCongratulations to your son! I have a coworker whose son graduated from USMC Basic, spent 10 days at home and reported to Infantry School this past Monday. You have a lot to be proud of!

It was longer than 2-3 days for me, also on Okinawa. One asshole in my platoon kneed me so hard in the thigh I thought he tore a ligament in my knee.
Congratulations to your son on entering the NCO ranks! Semper Fi!
