Congratulations, Marine!

Just wait for Jim to change your status or you can send a message to Thedrifter.

Any tips before they change your status? You won't be able to post here after.

thanks to all of you my brother and sisters and yes it was very hard for my platoon. Why 6 DI's? well one of them was a replacement because one of them went to the swim instructors school and the last one, he was fresh out of DI school

We had 3 DI's but never seen a Gunny come fresh out of DI school they were Sgt's in my time.:flag:

We had 5 total (maybe 6?), though they definitely weren't all Gunnys (and they weren't all there at the same time). That's kinda scary actually. Haha.

And just in case anyone wants to be like "You're a liar, there's no way that's possible!" 4 of those 6 Marines are listed in the GAL as part of Kilo, and one of the other 2 is also listed as a DI, so he's telling the truth.

Congrats Marine. :D

A 5-6 Gunnery Sergeant team? How cool is that for the Drill Instructors? :)

Although, it must have been a good time for you when there was an "All Drill Instructor" requirement on the training schedule. Like the humps and PT...

Tee-hee.

Coming from a time when three of us used to have to wrangle back-to-back 90 recruit herds (summer) that usually over-lapped for a few days and we could all fall asleep standing-up, what a break that must be. Sorry for you to have fresh and rested Drill Instructors all the time, though.

We only had 4 at a time because one of them came back just before the crucible from swim school and the one fresh out of DI school wasn't there all the time and once again thanks to everyone.

Holy Crap! I haven't seen those names since boot camp!! All those Gunny's were my drill instructors as well! Except GySgt. Watts and GySgt. Carden. I wonder what GySgt. Lowry was like as a SDI

I was Platoon 3096 K Co. Graduated Nov. 13th 2009

My DI's were

SDI GySgt. Ranahan (my platoon was his final platoon as a DI and I believe he's picked up Master Sergeant by now)

DI GySgt. Terwilliger (of course the infamous "kill hat")

DI GySgt. Townsend ("knowledge hat" we didn't know until the crucible we were his first platoon as a drill instructor)

DI GySgt. Jenkins ("drill hat" cuz of him we took first in Initial drill and we were also his first platoon as a DI but near the end we lost him for two weeks because he was being switched over to India Co.)

DI GySgt. Lowry (he came near the end just to help out and learn the ropes i suppose pretty much just shadowed)


Anyways Semper Fi brother!
