Taking shit from dishonorably discharged WWE Wrestler Randy Orton

Shortly after the public conversation, I had an encounter with another recruit. I am not sure if you watch WWE wrestling. I don’t but if you do, you might recognize the name Randy Orton. He was one of the squad leaders in my platoon.

I am a rather small guy, even more so back then. I was probably about 5’8? and 120 pounds. Double Rats recruit FTW [JG: this means he got to eat twice as much food, civilians.]

I was doing pull-ups on the quarterdeck during some free time. When I hopped off the bar, I turned to find this huge future wrestler glaring and blocking my path in an imposing manner.

He uttered the words, “You better believe in jesus, boy.” I was shocked. I wasn’t sure if he was trying to make a rational argument, or if he was trying to bully me into Christianity. Whatever it was I decided it was the worst attempt I had ever faced. Instead of engaging him, I just laughed in his face until he walked away.

After boot I hear he received a Dishonorable Discharge for going UA and telling his CO to fuck off. [JG: I confirmed the discharge. He received a short prison sentence for his crimes in the Marine Corps followed by a bad conduct dishonorable discharge.]
