    No point in shaming others for not having a skill. If your sergeant didn’t like it they ought to have sat you down with a needle and thread and trained you themselves.

      He was a good man, from an era where you broke other guy’s balls to let them know you liked them.

      It wasn’t malicious.

            Yeah, my mind skipped the J and went straight to ROTC. WHY IS THIS SERGEANT NOT TEACHING A GROWN ADULT HOW TO FIX HIS UNIFORM oh right
