I'm off to boot camp...

[Sarah G]

I leave for boot camp this Monday (feb. 15). I will miss my disscusion here. Also you fools here in seattle will owe me a drink when I get out in May. Anyways wish me luck.

P.S. Going infantry (0311 hopefully).

Semper Fi, motherfucker.

I enlisted in the Corps just two days after my 17th birthday. I tried to enlist earlier, but they caught me.

The Professor: Former radio-telegraph operator and member of Second ANGLICO (Air and Naval Gunfire Liaison Company), Camp Lejeune, NC.

Note: For non-Marines, “motherfucker” is either a putdown or a compliment depending on the context. In this case, it is obviously a sign of camaraderie.
