that's pretty cool about your family's dog tags. Your Dad was telling you a true story. I remember one of our crusty Korean War Drill Instructors in BCT telling us about the notched dog tags. Of course, he said they would KICK the jaw.
Picking up pieces: Been there, done that more times than I care to think about. I wish I still had my dog tags; long time lost, now.
Bill: You mean my DI was lying? Bet you wouldn't say that to his face. He'd have your balls for breakfast
. If not for that, what was the notch for?
