Big Tudor....

Yes...I admit to taking some poetic license there....did not recall the other Marines name....but the story is true. Told to me by Charlie himself over a few cold rum things after some night diving at Subic Bay. Knowing Charlie like I do....the only casualty was the sawdust pit and more than a little of his "face". I near about fell off the boat laughing....one could hear the rope whizzing through the carabiner and could imagine the laundry flapping in the breeze on the way down......and no brakes at the bottom exept that provided by Paris Island. It would have killed anything less than a USMC Drill Instructor.
