Best Friends Companies C, A, and HHC. Located at Sand Hill. One of the worse periods of my life.
Chain of Command I had one of the best First Sergeants in the Army. I was reassigned to Company C after my trouble in other companies and this 1SGT set out to repair my career and get me to reenlist. I wish I remembered his name. He was great. He gave me only two jobs. I was trainer and in charge of the Firing squad on burial details in Alabama and Georgia. I also attended weapons qualifications every Friday for him. What a blast, so many weapons courses and training in so many different weapons. This guy also promoted me and notified the Department of Army I had less than 90 days in the Army to go when I got orders back to Viet Nam, so I did not have to go. He also had me given a Good Conduct Medal upon my discharge, and lamented that I did not reenlist. He was what a leader should be.
