>During my reserve weekend in San Diego tonight a few of us reservists went
>to see G.I Jane. (We were one O-3, one E-8, 3 E-6s, two females, 3
>males). It was an interesting (but formula) movie on the perils of female
>participation in combat training at the Navy Specwar School. Demi Moore is
>the herione.
>
>Some political overtones, (Anne Bancroft as a Senator.) Lots of
>semi-violent action/combat scenes, much “in-your-face” shouting. One nude
>scene from the back. One final combat finale. (I won’t post results and
>spoil the ending.) Also some poetic quotations to titulate the
>pseudo-intellectuals.
>
>As reservists we all got some laughs. Some Navy Seals in attendance (you
>could tell by their T-shirt emblems and short hair cuts, and this was a
>special showing in San Diego, after all) were humored enough to chuckle
>out loud.
>
>There was also a ‘notable quotable’, which one female in my unit in
>attendance is saving, for later. Possibly to use on our Commanding
>Officer, “SMD!”
