Default Boats,....

Know exactly what you mean about: "Swearing" in The Service.

While sitting with 3 three other Scouts at a table in our Company or Troop Mess Hall,
we once counted-up just how many foul words were used during our typical conversations.
If memory serves correctly, the count even surprised us.
Amazingly, it came to every FOURTH word uttered of never ending chatter!

Thus, such why we all shared one major concern and/or how we would speak when going
home on leave or discharge,...at the diner table. Was commonly feared that would just
automatically say words like: "Pass the f--kin butter".

Still Boats, what's with this: "Literary folks" bit for this H.S. Grad?
Don't know whether to consider such a Compliment or an Insult??
