The girlfriend warning is so good.
When I was in basic, I had a girlfriend send me a "sexy" photo. The DI felt the letters before handing them out, and if it was believed to contain photos, sticks of gum or things like that, he would open it first.
He opened this one, saw the photo and tacked on his bulletin board in his duty hut. He told me I wanted it, all I had to do was say "I QUIT" and I could take it on my way home.
During the ceremony before graduation, where he went through and pinned our Eagle, Globe and Anchor's on, he had the photo and slipped it into my left breast pocket as I stood at attention.
I have to tell you, it's been 25 years and I'm still pissed off at Sgt Watkins for doing that. But I think I was more pissed at her for sending it.
