MCRD--San Diego----The fat bodies were restricted on the amount of food they could have---us skinny recruits got more.
I made the mistake of taking a orange The DI's were screaming at us to get out of the mess hall. I was told to eat the
orange right now! I was told to eat it, not peel it. I ate the orange within a few seconds without peeling it. Last time I ate
a orange in boot camp.
