kracken: I did Marine Boot campe at MCRD in San Deigo from May to Aug of 89. I don't recall anyone masterbating or even jacking in their bunks.

One of the D.I.'s overheard some of the recruits talking about how they put Salt Peter in the food. So he called all the platoon over and had "the salt peter" talk.

He said that he eats the same food that we do everyday and goes home and fucks he wife every night. no salt peter was ever added to the food.

The one thing I do vividly remember was our mess week (where we take over the mess hall, that's cafeteria for you non military guys lol). This was in our 8th or 9th week of basic training. One of the guys in my platoon asked me when was the last time I had a wet dream. I told him that I hadn't had one for months and asked him why. He said he had a wet dream last night and it felt great. He asked nine or ten of us that same question and got the same answer as I gave him.

That night all of us that he asked had wet dreams LOL

Talk about the power of suggestion!
