I remember there being a parallel group like ours that was "USMC style". "Bull Pups" seems hazily familiar. It was more military boy scouts-style than screwup-fixup style.
We poked fun at them because they didn't get to do the Rambo stuff, instead focusing on "boring" stuff like character and discipline, two important things our group "forgot" to teach. In hindsight, we got the short end of the stick.
But just because the group may have existed doesn't mean he was ever affiliated with it.
Wolfgang isn't responding to email requests, but he is reading them, he's triggering my embedded "web bugs". I got hits pretty quickly after I sent them.
