Grinder Reminder

Via IsraellyCool, we have this gem:

While most people know about the ‘farmer tan’ on the arm, many don’t know that the parade field at a Navy boot camp is called a ‘grinder’. You get shaved bald, and walk around in the sun a few hours, and the result, for those of European extraction, is a ‘grinder reminder’.
Go, Navy!

    TOM needs alt text. I always hover my mouse pointer over your photos hoping for an extra treat, and I always get bupkis.

    At least when I was at NTC Great Lakes, I didn’t have any hair, so no worries about the unseemly crud in the back.

    I didn’t even know the Navy had parade grounds at their boot camps. Do they have wheels on their recliners or something?

    Looks like Charles “Icarus” Johnson fell off his bike into a running lawnmower.
