| Senior Member  | A young friend was on his way into Marine life a couple of years ago and kept telling everyone he was going to "boot camp". I tried to explain that every service branch now had basic training and the the term "boot camp" would especially annoy his new best friend that he would meet immidiatly upon stepping off the bus. Finally when he wouldn't get off the term I suggested that when he got off the bus to tell the nice man with no neck, red face and veins popping out as he "yells" good morning to his new charges how proud you are to be at "boot camp". After my yong friend returned home from basic before moving on to his first duty station, he found me as soon as possible to assure me that I had been right about the vulgar term of "boot camp" and after following my suggestion as he left the bus that first day learned in about 5 minutes or so that he not only would never utter that term again, it was washed from his memory, the good DI had, as I indicated, not been at all fond of the term!
