In October 1968 I was in basic training at Fort Leonard Wood MO. We happen to have this one Sunday afternoon off from training. Three recruits and myself were playing poker with nickels and dimes on one of the bunks. I was keeping my nickels and dimes in my breast pocket of my fatigues. Well wouldn't you know the drill sergeant dropped in.
He said, "I know you gentlemen were not playing poker, but just in case, drop down and give me 20. As I started my 20 push-ups, all my change in my breast pocket came out and was rolling all over the floor. A little embarrassing to say the least. Didn't play cards again throughout the rest of my basic training.
