so at other boot camps in the land of freedom did they have some gay ceremony prior to graduation after you completed a big obstacle course or whatever where they give you a new ball cap and everyone stands at attention while god bless the usa plays and half the recruits start crying?

No, but we did have a bunch of dudes break down the first Sunday they had us all go to church. I went to mass which had almost no fanfare at all, just a bunch of recruits saying the Lord's prayer and eating crackers then hearing some Spanish LCpl sing some hymn I'd never heard before. But we came out and all the one's who went to the non-denominational protestant poo poo were all teary eyed from lovely Christian rock power ballads

There any Jews?

Not in my platoon, but all the Jews, Buddists and Muslims had was an unsupervised prayer time in the classrooms near the Chaplain's office or they could just read the newspaper next to their rack while the rest of us were gone.

I became a rack reader after week 4
