Marine drill instructor accused of running a clothes dryer with a Muslim recruit inside

After I had done a year in Reserves and had the opportunity to go Active.. I had a skill set I learned in Vo-tech before Reserves, got the Skill level after taking the skt and worked to pass it forward. I was amazed at how many were in it “just for themselves”. Nobody else matters.. I earned it, it is mine and I’m not sharing !.. I parted company with that ilk.. I was supposed to be learning myself but I just had to adapt to the AF method and work with it.. and impart my skills with what I learned in the AF. When I seen fellow Airmen cutting s’thing wrong I would show them how to hold the knife with the thumb down the groove on the bolster and hand around the handle . Also to put a damp towel under the board so it didn’t slide and cause injury.. Even when I got to my Reserve unit I got my whites hemmed right so they wouldn’t unravel (some guys rolled them and they unraveled during shift and they get caught up and trip.. I made my connections at the riggers.. do them favors, they do me some.. I had all trousers hemmed, shirts and patches and chevrons sewn right.. got uniforms done by Linen exch. Got them back in a few days. I had some from Reserves I had to just change Group patches .. I also had some trousers I got From guys that were In somewhar Decent shape
I got material from them and had 2d back pockets added and flaps
The fade on them matched the fade on my trousers so it was hard to tell if those extra flaps n pockets came with or not.. When we got new Cooks In I managed to wrangle them some extra sets of whites n aprons .from supply . We had some cooks got out and dumped their whites in the barrel.. we’d find some that were not really serviceable and take to supply and get extra shirts n trousers for the new guys. They count them put in the barrel and the new guys leave with 5 sets instead of 3.. They had rolls of blue nametape at riggers..
so they got new AF TAPES and name tapes better than the exchange sold them for.. Squadron gave the Group command patches to us. Everything got put on..for us at riggers.. We had more money to spend on stuff.. We’d buy just enough of some stuff for a set of. Whites..and utilities.. One of the new Airmen was getting his new Cook shirt checked by some lady outside the exchange tailor shop. I got there and rescued him.. At the riggers the just showed the Mac patch right on.. no wasting time taking the pocket off and sewing and sewing the pocket back again .
On my sleeves on the whites they
Were a 1/4 inch longer than supposed to be. So the guy sewed my chevrons up a qtr inch higher and turned the shirts inside out and sewed that 1/4” up . Turn it right side out and good to go ! Bottom of sleeve resting where elbow bends.. the way it should., I got hold of some kind of heavy cook jackets from a guy who was getting out. I just got the name tape changed, I seen there was no MAC logo patch, so I got one and a rigger sewed that on the pocket too., and I got a Velcro strip set for both jackets.. my rigger friends did the Velcro for me.. my chore would be sewing those buttons back on the front over the slits for the buttons .. it would look buttoned I kept them jackets a few yesrs (the service life was listed indefinite) The finally told me they were to be retired even though in decent shape. I had an idea.. got a manikin from the bx and put it in a cook uniform with the jacket and made a nice sign with help of graphics shop with the era the uniform was from (early 60s).. Occasionally the manikin was stripped and the uniform cleaned and put back on it., We did a updated uniform too. Trying to keep current. I left there winter of ‘71 . I learned they got the perma pressed hospital style one pocket shirts and trousers .. They never updated the manikin again .. just put In a closet.. they said they expected me to return .. some that came later overseas.. that didn’t
Happen ! I went to Travis..

You're going to hell for posting that, I'm going to hell for laughing at it, and I'm perfectly okay with that.

Cpl George Crab Yea, what the hell is the deal with clothes driers. We had to dry our stuff on the racks outside if we needed to dry them.

Cpl Jeff N. Indeed.

Of course, we wouldn't have needed a washing machine. Just toss a sheet of Bounce clothes smelly stuff into the drier. When one comes out, he smells April Fresh!
