Hurry up and wait

I took basic training in 1967 at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. The only thing that I remember vividly was that "Reveille" was at 0400. We had to clean up, shave, get dressed, make our bunks and be out on the grinder at 0415. We then stood at ease until we promptly marched over to the chow hall at 0600 each morning. Those were great times.
