Teaser Tuesday (5 April)

Once again, it’s Tuesday Teaser…time..
..or it will be at some point.

As he walked down the hallway, I remember watching with anthropologist-like fascination and thinking, This is interesting, watching these college kids get indoctrinated in the U.S. military; you can see that they’re afraid. I wonder if the drill instructors practice this, the walking-down-the-hallway moment. I wonder what’s going to happen next.  Staff Sergeant Lewis grabbed me by the green collar of my fatigues, walked me back three steps, pressed me against the wall, and yelled, “Join the rest of this sorry group!”
I realized then that I was actually in the Navy.
