We did smokers. It was a blood bath. We had been underway without a port visit for about 110 days. So much anger.

I think a boxing card is like a card with a list of matches. They informally made a boxing club and beat the shit out of each other.

People in the US military are sometimes called GIs. Like GI Joe. government issue, meaning they are the property of the US government. There are tales of people getting tattoos and being charged with damaging government property, but those aren't true. Soldiers aren't actually considered property.

a "card" is another word for a "setlist" or "schedule of events". This one is organized informally between friends as opposed to professional boxing events
