Mine had Isaiah 60:1 on it. I was dumb and didn't think anything was odd about a serial number with a colon on it until the LAMESTREAM media blew it out of proportion.

The end.

During our first week of SOI the entire company of students assembled *voluntarily* to listen to some crusty old 1st Sgt sell a book he wrote. The title of the book was something like Jesus for Marines or Foxhole Faith for Marines.

What struck me about this incident was that, unlike boot camp, nobody seemed into it this time. 1st Sgt is equating homosexuals with pedophiles and pigfuckers, pepping us up for holy war, and warning us not to trust any atheists that might've slipped through the cracks at MEPs... but afterwards everybody was all mmmkay 1st Sar'nt.

A few days later, a sickly looking hispanic student threatened to kill me when I called him a human being for cutting in line. We were waiting to buy SOI challenge coins. I purchased two of them. For the majority of us, this was the last time we ever gave a poo poo about challenge coins. That was shower-shoe logic: god is dead, but at the other end of this thing I'll have a bitchin' challenge coin collection.

What that human being line-cutter, that crusty old 1st Sgt, and I didn't realize is that the world is lousy with challenge coins and gods. Those who carry both are of little use to the infantryman: chaplains, DoD civilians, "war"/"combat" "veterans", that guy from your bootdrop litter who has a breakdown between 1st and 2nd deployments and isn't allowed to draw a rifle anymore, military history enthusiasts, pogs, boots, boot-rear end-pogs, grandpas great and sergeants major.

This truth is not given as an enabling learning objective at SOI, but all true warriors come to know it thusly; between the first and second syllables of "fire", a whisper: "Their coin is given for your submission. Their god is given for your soul."
