Personal Memories
Best Moment I was in "1st Platoon" in PLDC and we were co-billeted with "2nd Platoon". We had a lot of pride in our platoon so much that we found a long straight stick and attached a cravat to it to create a platoon guidon. I marched my platoon to formation with our guidon bearer leading the way. The other two platoons were dumbfounded and complained to the cadre. Needless to say, we were not allowed to carry our guidon anymore.
Other Memories After the other "platoons" complained about our guidon we did a recon mission on their hooch. We had found a dead skunk in the field, placed it in a sack and stealthily made our way to the tree line near their hooch. We waited until nightfall and for them to finally go to sleep. We then cut their power and tossed the smelly skunk into the crawl space under their billets. When they awoke in the morning they had no idea what had hit them. It was hilarious.
