Mr King 0 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Sperm counts are for pussies. http://youtu.be/ZWSMoE3A5DI I noticed one thing about the Marine's uniforms in the footage. Their insignia looks to be drawn on their uniforms with grease pencils or some such thing. I imagine this is because they were going to dispose of the uniforms after this exercise because of the radiation....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Later, an iron-on kit was used. (That's what I used at OCS in '75). The paper with the decal is carefully placed over the pocket and ironed, transferring the decal from the paper to the cloth. WOE to the Marine who botched the job!!!In the early '90s, the Marines went to the service and name tapes over the chest pockets. With the current MARPAT utilities, the emblem is stitched on the pocket at the factory. Edited November 3, 2014 by shep854 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
