Personal Memories

Best Moment
One of the Drill Sergeant's instructing us in the military method of eating breakfast at zero dark 30, "inhale dem eggs boy"

Worst Moment
Didn't care for the 20 mile march or the LA. heat in July, but otherwise it was a hoot!

   

Instructors
Don't remember their names except for my DI, S/Sgt Johnson. He was the best NCO in the Company. Although some of them were not much competition!

Other Memories
Many of us were Warrant Officer Candidates. So upon our departure for Ft. Wolters the Co, Cpt. Dawson, gave us a going away present... 20 push-ups!
