Coming near the end of my soph...Interesting story. Coming near the end of my sophomore year, one of the 3rd Batt 1st SGgts picked on two guidon corporal types, setting them up for JSD. For some reason, which I never heard, he sprayed shaving cream up their noses, which resulted in a bust and severe sinus infections. The JSD went on. I still recall a hot morning in Aug 72 with a little, short, bald guy yelling at me. Tim Moore. He made drill, and SG, too. Went on to do good stuff as a Marine.<BR/><BR/>I agree with your understanding of hazing, being something that takes you higher. I never was beaten, but the 15 push ups in 15 minutes were interesting. Pipe hanging, too, and then the obligatory M-14 at arms length.<BR/><BR/>Side note. Our year for SG was the first with out "smokers" and other implements of pain. Come the day on Indian Hill, one of the '75 SG, who had abstained from any participation in the BV process, came out and cut the last few of us, to make sure no one made 76 minutes. I got to 73. He waited until those last 10 minutes, when only those who had done it the year before could cut. His classmates surrounding the event were pretty upset, but....it was what it was.<BR/><BR/>Then again, '75 was an experiment in no push ups (on the galleries anyway). They brought them back for us.<BR/><BR/>Good story injected with personal insight.chaoticsynapticactivityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030483517020312776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15226520.post-1140274666068570572006-02-18T08:57:00.000-06:002006-02-18T08:57:00.000-06:00Skip--Nah, I didn't go for JSD (it's in the story ...Skip--<BR/><BR/>Nah, I didn't go for JSD (it's in the story up there somewhere)--my grades would have imploded and I would never have gotten a contract. I did SG, though. We still had shako pops (the alumni hated that).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144889983564252947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15226520.post-1140224187008108242006-02-17T18:56:00.000-06:002006-02-17T18:56:00.000-06:00I've added you to my link list.I've added you to my link list.Skippy-sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115988855323925228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15226520.post-1140224156707549102006-02-17T18:55:00.000-06:002006-02-17T18:55:00.000-06:00Its good to see someone inject some common sense i...Its good to see someone inject some common sense into the debate about military colleges, particularly with the farce that is going on at the USNA.<BR/><BR/>I was a Summerall Guard, but never had the guts or the rank to be with JSD.
