    One of the barbers cut a recruits ear when I was in boot and made him bleed. The senior was PISSED. No recruit built no relationship with any barber in bootcamp. They scalped us so hard with those tools that all of our heads would burn for the rest of the day. Some of them were as mean as drill instructors which didn't make sense to me.

    It’s a homage to those single mothers he’s talking about. Not saying nothing about the ones whose kids don’t go there cause individually every case is different but those ones whose boys do it for that...much respect. You did it by yourself and were able to SUCCESSFULLY do it!
