When I was stationed Permanent Party at Ft Lee, we discussed it one day after we tired of playing cards. I would say that 75% of my platoon had either witnessed or participated in a blanket party. Interestingly, no one admitted to being the recipient of a blanket party.
In the early 90's when I worked as a Civilian Employee at Ft Leavenworth, I asked a couple of Active Duty Military about blanket parties. Neither one of them even admitted to knowing what a blanket party was much less participating in or witnessing one. I think Vietnam and early post Vietnam, it was still very much a part of the Military. Everything tends to evolve over time. My feeling is that the Military evolved and blanket parties are no longer encouraged or acceptable behavior.
A Few Good Men, finished off blanket parties. Can you handle the truth?When I was stationed Permanent Party at Ft Lee, we discussed it one day after we tired of playing cards.

Probably A Few Good Women were in on that as well. Can you handle the truth?
Glad to hear that. I'm really not into violence. The soap was used because she wouldn't shower.

Years of disappointment rooting for the Detroit Tigers actually prepared me the past few seasons, but nothing really readies you for losing nine games by single digits -- a first in college football since The Great Depression. No one could have imagined the way this season has unfolded. If you wrote a script like this, people would say it's too far fetched and reject it.
Are they not running stadiums? Who knows. Havent been to a practice so I dont know. I bet they have some form of extra running
If I were SF and his assistants, I would use the 9 game losses by 1 score as a recruiting tool to show just how close we were to greatness; And that the recruited kids could be the one ingredient to get us over that hump.
Ya know I had that same knockoff in the back of my head. You can't erase so turn it into a positive. (and truth be told it is positive because as coach says, we are so close)
