did anyone see the Discovery Show Myth Busters where they tried to prove/disprove if the supposed myth that marching in formation would bring down a bridge like that. I only heard about it and that it was in fact not a myth. I guess that is why they have you route step across it.
Some renegade platoon at OCS should get together and bring down the bridge by always keeping in step. That would be a great headline in the Marine Corps Times wouldn't it... "150 Marine Corps Officer Candidates were injured in bridge collapse today. Although clearly shaken, the candidates at Quantico's OCS were surprisingly overjoyed and there were reports of laughter and the singing of Kum ba Ya. Candidate Jones who was Candidate Co Commander, when interviewed said this, "We just decided that we had had enough of that bridge and weren't going to cross it one more time. I got my candidate staff together, layed out a quick 5 paragraph order... and well, they got the picture, and we went to work."
Alright, so I thought about it a time or two. Who hasn't. Im just glad Im done. :icon_smil
