never heard the term scaley-back?
I really enjoyed the first 5 years especially the first 3 but after that it was tedious, petty and small minded. That could have bene my unit but to some extent it was Corps because I was working in IT as an electronics techniician and they wouldn't let me transfer to IT fulltime. So I got out despite being recently promoted etc ... they were ****ed!! Told me I'd never earn more money 'on the outside' etc ...
Oh well
