I gotta go with the Humper on this one... I just cannot think of entering service and expecting to ever be satisfied with anything... but may the kids have been LED to believe they oughta be, in a PC sorta way?
They reduce a man down to a slime spot on the PT ground every damn day from first... and then god knows what might happen afterward, but THE point is service, just service. Only thing we did not have to do was obey and UNlawful order, other than that sky's the limit on dissatisfaction.
My sinister sarcastic side sees a Marine recruit (or even one of us in old Sargeant Hacker's Basic Training flight) attempting to explain to the DI about how he was "not satisfied" with ANYTHING... man alive, I'd pay good money to witness THAT interchange of ideas! If I'd ever even thought such a thing, Hacker would have me givin' him 20 for the rest of my life, with oatmeal and water for food (if I was lucky).
Crap, we ain't talkin' about tiddlywinks here... it ain't no damn vacation.
