Best Friends Butch Dillard was my closest friend from BCT. Preacher was a great squad leader. Shame he broke his wrist during Jump School. Jenkins making everyone in the barracks laugh. "Ski" was from Chicago and everytime he opened his mouth, the Drill had him pushing pavement.
Best Moment Graduation!
Worst Moment Warrant Officer Candidate (can't remember his name) fell from "Slide for life". He was discharged.
Instructors SFC Pancook and SGT Woodward. SFC Pancook would always sing "Big Red One Patch My shoulder..." cadence. SGT Woodward would sing old version of "Yellow Bird".
Other Memories Drill Sergeant Paris (2nd PLT) falling the barracks out at 0230 hrs digging holes with Etools burying their footlockers because they failed the weekly barracks inspection. Springwater losing control of 50cal (little guy). Low crawling through "Little Egypt". Dying Cockroach!!!First On-Post pass to Tiger's Den listening to "Freebird".
