[QUOTE="HMCS(FMF)Ret., post: 2053990, member: 12635"] It sucks that an old tradition is gone, but it's not a big shock. I loved certain parts of it, the bonding and memories. The only problem, there was always some idiot that would take things too far. The military isn't the "old military". In some ways that sucks, because old bastards like me miss all the crazy **** we used to do. I don't doubt that it was time for a change. It's hard to sell to parents and congressmen (year after year) that making someone drink puke infested grog is actually good leadership and necessary for their professional development. That's one reason why it was time for me to retire. Once the branch that you joined changes so much that you can no longer recognize it....you need to get out. That's why I always loved working with the Marines....a lot less politics...and some tough SOB's. Semper Fi! [/QUOTE]
