S. McCurrach "Pride n.: a sense of one's own dignity or worthy self respect. (WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DIC- TIONARY) There's something sterile about a diction- ary definition, particularly one dealing with intangibles like "pride." Unfortunately, concepts such as "pride in ser- vice" or "pride in uniform," as they are treat- ed in military orientation lectures and cours- es, also become somewhat meaningless to most of us.

They had written the handbook. No matter how many sermons I delivered, no matt- er how many words of wisdom I imparted to these renegades-from my fat notebook of Naval Orientation, I was unable to sway them on the importance of what they were doing. Then, one day, some Marines came aboard our ship, and something snapped.
