September 2013, one night for mail call our DS gathered us all up around him in the Killzone. DS had just started flinging..I mean handing letters out when all the sudden the room got completely silent and all I heard was the DS scream “Semper Fi?!” I was standing at our fireguard desk helping someone when I heard this and i instantly started thinking “o you son of a bitch” you see, a good friend of mine had shipped out to Paris island a few weeks before I shipped to Benning. He ended up getting my address from his parents and the envelopes they buy in basic have EGAs and Semper Fidelis printed on them. DS instantly started yelling “Private K get the fuck over here” so of course “moving Drill Sergeant” and i ran over and went to parade rest. He started sarcastically asking me “Private are you a Marine?” “Private how many letters does Semper Fi have in it?” I went to answer and as i opened my mouth he interrupted me by screaming “IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW MANY FUCKING LETTERS THERE ARE, BEAT YOUR FACE PRIVATE!” I ended up having to wait until mail call was finished to finally recover.
