It has all been totally pointless.
Just a drill.
I’ve been in the military. Dress Right. By the left, quick march.
Totally total Pointless Exercise.
Fact!
BTW : A pace stick – which all Drill Sergeants carry – measures the pace of a man.
I chose the only Corps where the women trained with the men. No favours. No quarter.
At least I’m tall enough to lengthen MY pace :o)
