Not thrust with a bayonet, mind you - held by the barrel and used like a club.

This is now an accountable item for you for a week, and I'm letting every other NCO know about it to check in on you whenever they feel like it."

Wait, they actually really still make those? It isn't just a thing from the '40s?

Here's something a little bit different, but which I think people might find interesting. After he moved into a retirement community in the late 2000's, my grandpa took and then taught a writing class. Doing so inspired him to sit down and write a bunch of anecdotes from his life, including his military service. So, this is what it was like to enlist in the Navy in 1943. Some comments/context:
If this is something people want more of, I'll wait a day or so and then can post part 2: Grandpa Goes to Radio School.
