There are few pleasures to be had aboard the recruit depots. It is small, simple things that make your life just a tiny bit better while you suffer through 3 months of recruit training.
One of those things is peanut butter.
These delectable little respites are found in the chow hall, where they’re served in small packets. However, they come with a single condition: they may only be used during chow time, and to remove one from the premises is a crime punishable by any variety of nonsense your drill instructors can think up–to include extending your stay at the Depot by holding you back a phase or two.
Marine Corps bootcamp does things to a person. To be reduced to a peanut butter-thieving fiend of the night is not something that happens under normal conditions. But bootcamp is anything but normal.
PEANUT BUTTER NIGHTMARES. π Hi Max, My first comment on your TERMINAL LANCE site. I can relate to your latest cartoon. 50 years ago (1974) I went through Recruit Training at Parris Island and was ‘busted’ with contraband. Had to suffer the consequences. I got off easy. Wasn’t set back to Correctional Custody or the Motivation Platoon. ( still had CC busting rocks in those days)
Max, I love your work. First one I ever saw was your FEMALES IN THE INFANTRY.

You nailed it with the 1stSgt. reply to those WM’s along with your follow up FEMALES IN THE INFANTRY II was Abe conversing with the WM Grunt.
Semper Fi Max, You served our Nation, our Corps, and still serving Marines & veterans with your work. Thanks.
