For hours, Sewell and his drill sergeants urge on helmeted trainees as they whale away at each other with pugil sticks, landing head and body blows until one falls flat on the ground. As a victor slams away at his flattened foe, a drill sergeant whistles the fight to a halt.

Patricia T. O'Conner is my hero! She's the first celebrity I ever emailed. I was amazed that she was gracious enough to answer me back that same evening. Yes, my mother was an English teacher (nicknamed Conan the Grammarian) so I consider folks like Ms. O'Conner celebs.
