[Vision2020] Shame on you Crabtree

[Tom Hansen]

One minor correction, Mr. Nisbet:

The correct sequence of orders to get a platoon-sized element, while in
formation, to the front leaning rest is:

Platoon.  Ah-tenn-SHUNN.

Half right FACE.

Front leaning rest position HOOVE.

However I prefer getting my platoon into PT formation.  It's alot roomier.

Platoon.  Ah-tenn-SHUN

At double-arms interval, extend to the left HOOVE.

>From front to rear, count OFF.

Even numbers, one step to the left UNCOVER. 

Front leaning rest position, HOOVE.

Ready exercise.

Note:  In twenty years of service, I have never heard of "quarter right
face".

Take care.

sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'”

Seasons Greetings Hanson

Thats not quite what my DD 214 tells me about my time in the service as an 
11B, but maybe thats how you served as a clerk typist?

You are however correct that DI is a term used by the Marines.  Its been a 
lot of years since I got out.  Its also quarter right face, not quarter 
right turn.  Funny how 30 years will dim the memories.

As for the extremely homophobic remark about hussling sailors, I thought you

said you were all about tolerance Hanson.  Kinda takes the gleem off of 
showing up at a Gay pride parade in solidarity when you make those kinds of 
remarks don't you think?
