Best Friends Myself, Ralph S. Climer, and Melvin S. Temple were sworn in at San Francisco and flew to MCRD, San Diego ending up in the same platoon together.
Best Moment Graduation to get the "hell" out of MCRD, of course ITR was almost an extension of "Boot Camp". The first time that I heard a radio in 3 months was at "ITR". They were playing "Duke of Earl". I will always remember that song.
Worst Moment All 13 weeks.
