Hehe, I think that started a long time before the Marines, But Military life sure did help it along.

Speaking of Army, as a kid, me and a bunch of friends, used to go every week with the Army explorers, a youth group done by the NG up in Rogers County, OK. (I grew up in Verdigris , OK, just a hic cup away from Claremore, Will Rogers, Stuart Roosa, and Bell Star. ) Every one in my little town, I think learned, roping, Shooting, and uhm Flying just through osmosis.

Now one year, before I shipped off, we decided to go camping out on Goose Island, which is up near Oolagah lake. Only one road in, one road out. And of course that weekend it rains, and the road get's flooded out. Running out of food stuffs, on our three day trip now turned into 6, we took to fishing what we could, and shooting blackbirds. It was getting pretty damned funny, as we started taking black bird skulls and putting them around the barrels of our .22's and 30-30's for example.

That is also reason # 2 why I can't eat any kind of bird to this day. But anyways, we got smart, and took an old hippy bus out there one weekend, and stocked it full of MRE's, supplies, etc. and buried it out there on that island. It's closing in on 30 years now, and I've often wondered if it is still there. Hell, I was prepping before prepping was even a show on Cable.
