Badger at Hospital Corps School

[u/Bruin144]

So 50 years ago on the 4th of July I was a student at the Navy Hospital Corps School at Great Lakes Navy Base. On the night of the 4th I had duty and was the roving patrol on the Corps school campus and was walking down a sidewalk next to a wooded ravine. I saw what looked like a lump of fur in the grass next to the sidewalk. I poked it with the stick I was carrying. It (the badger) looked at me and hissed and said “ Are you insane?” I said why no I’m not, backed off I found somewhere else to patrol.
