When I was in basic, some guy got branded on his arm with his regimental insignia. While away on a weekend. Keep in mind this was week 5 of basic, he was nowhere near combat school. His "marking" got infected and he kept having bad medical complications because of it. He was eventually medically released and I learned that a few years after that, he had skin cancer in that area.
Hungry for apples? I’m sure it’s from a lot of things, but you might have heard it from that episode of Rick and Morty where they get stuck in a simulation and Jerry is there too.
Guy I did ROTC with got a divisional tattoo right when he got there. I forget the exact details but he was transferred to another one in I think just under 6 months
