<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Besides using weapons for a different kind of herd management? You forgot the high tower dive because everyone must jump off the deck of a carrier sometime during their career. Folding dress clothes inside out. Lighting that OBA candle off. And anything associated with the term &quot;Angle on the Bow&quot;. Much more out there....

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Culture. The Marine Corps make Marines. They instill esprit de Corps. The traditions, history and exploits are taught again and again. The first job of basic training or OCS is to make Marines that think like Marines, act like Marines and have a common outlook on being a Marine. Not just for your tour but for life.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Um...I learned all that in my senior Red Cross swimming course. It was standard, along with full-dress entry from the high diving board. There&#39;s nothing like trying to get laced shoes off at the bottom of a diving pool.

Place it between your legs! <br /><br />Even today, 9JAN2017, as I needed one hand to open a door, I placed one of three items between my knees to free a hand and allow me to open the door. <br /><br />Let us not forget; Tom Sawyer, wearing a dress, while visiting Aunt (?) Becky was covertly discovered by Aunt Becky when she tossed an object into his lap. Tom rather than spreading his knees to use the skirt of the dress to catch the item as a girl would, put his knees together as a boy would to catch something thrown into his lap.
