    That bunk…is that what they have now? What about open squadbays? Do they still have those? Are there any surviving Quonset huts?

    She's sold separately, along with the 2006 Camero.

    When you buy the dependa figurine, she is 115lbs…. Within 3 months, she is 186 and missing a tooth.
    The 2006 Camero is a V6, with 4 bald tires, a stain on the seat from where a dip spitter was spilled, and a 24% APR…

    Those bunks with open squad bays are still pretty normal for the USMC at training venues. Quonset huts are still around.

    Garrison is dorm style living.

    Don't know about the other branches.

    And works at the strip joint just outside of base. Kind of like my cousin's first wife when he was in the Navy.

    True story. I had to spend about four hours explaining why marrying the stripper who bit your ear off for calling her a whore was a bad idea. They got married about three months after he had his ear sewn back on.

    Ordered, with instructions given to the company clerk to have it set up on the First Sgt's desk by friday morning in time for him to conduct a field day inspection....

    That way me and the boys can do something useful with our time....

    I had a GI Joe footlocker from back in the late 60s. The items in that footlocker are vastly different from those in the play set in the OP. Different times and values.
