Hey, General - maybe you know if this is true or not; I was told that swabbies were called "eye dotters" because... you know... every time someone bent over in the shower, they got their eye dotted!
I was also told that Marines are called grunts because "If you got yor eye dotted, wouldn't you grunt."

What do you say about that???

LOL

Now, I do not know about male on male in the Marines. During my time and in talking with any other marines, we never discussed this being an issue, although i am sure it has happened many times as they do those 6 month rotations on ship year round.

I do, however, know for fact that there is an issue in the Navy.

I also know that those Navy guys better not just think they are going to make a Marine grunt Grunt easily without his consent.

I'd rather be a lover than a fighter - that's why I enlisted in the USAF - I still got shot at, but I didn't get shot.
