no KP.
Went into boot camp E-3, and got my crow before I got to fleet. Missed a lot of the initiation BS work. I was company clerk and and only stood one watch, went to A school and because the quartermaster screwed up, never ended up on a watch section and when they caught the screw up I had just gotten married and was put on a 13 section duty and stood maybe 2 or 3 watches that never lasted more than three or four hours. I never stood an inspection until I was in sub school. And because I was mustering petty officer for the transient barracks, I never stood a night watch. I spent almost two years in school before I went to fleet.
Life was good; very, very good!

Figures. He won't be going quietly. I suspect he wants to be president someday.

"seeing red": rage hurts the rager & blunts their weapons. Replace it w cold calculating loathing.

Lots. It requires a deep realization that rage doesn't work. And I mean deep.
