There are two Marines I am trying to get in touch with. <br />

The first Marine is my former Senior Drill Instructor, SDI SSgt. Michael Sparkman, who was in charge of platoon 2065, 2nd Battalion, Fox Co....

Googling with the help of one of the site's members, I think I may have found my former SDI. But I am not sure how to verify this.

2nd AA BN Delta Co.

Does anyone have any advice as to how I could go about looking for more information?

Do you have MOL access?
You could cross reference names there.
I am trying to locate my Drill Instructors as well. I was in platoon 2063 that graduated from Parris Island on 10/27/1981. The Senior was SSGT Krause and the DI's were Sgts Ishmail and Mazenko. Sadly, I heard through the grapevine that Krause and Ishmail may have passed away. If anyone knows James Mazenko, I would just like to thank him for making me into a Marine. Any info you could provide would be helpful! Thanks and Semper Fi.

McClendon, I was there with you in PI. I was just doing a search for our old platoon and found this post. I remember that nasty injury when it happened. We wanted you to be able to graduate with us when it happened. Man, I remember Sgt. Exlos getting on you at prayer time. I know its been a couple of years since you posted, but I hope you found your way back into the Corps.
