Hi Everette,
    You do realize I was just joking about the DI's being bred.
When I went thru PI, I was yelled at like everyone else and they used
very imaginative
names that made slimeball look tame, but no one took it personally, and
the DI's never laid
a hand on us. I did get my share of push ups and "watching tv*".I was a
little more prepared for this since my Father was a WWII Marine vet
and he brought us up very strictly.
    I don't have a television set nor do I want one. Ocassionally my
wife and I see shows in our neighbors
house where we pet sit for them when they are away. I did get to see an
episode of mail call,
but it never struck me as abusive. But then I am probably imuned to all
that, having been thru boot camp.
Bruce

* Watching tv is sitting on air with your back against the wall, your
knees at a right angle, thighs
parrallel with the deck and your arms out straigh ahead and parrallel
with the deck. NOT fun.
