I recall very candidly June 77 at Ft. Jackson, SC. We were being introduced to our training platoons. The Senior Drill came off as Boy a Scout leader, saying we were going to experience things we thought our bodies couldn’t do. Then he turned us over to our Drills and that’s when hell looked me straight in the eyes.

And would say no word to that mate. The officer was mad. It was fun.
