I went to Boot Camp August of 1987, MCRD Parris Island, and to this day it was the best experience of my life..next to my children being born... some guys I still hate...some I miss alot...., but the thing I remember most is that we took

Final Drill
Testing
Riffle Range.....

My bunk mate was a dude named Johnson...A good guy If I fought he fought....but we became friends..had a buddy named Lyod, from Delaware....overall some reall good guys...their was Little and Ishmial from SC..and then there was Howe from OH, why do guys from Ohio and Ny think they are tough, and then can't fight..

SDI Sgt Harley..then SSgt Archacavets
Sgt Tanksley(BADDEST DUDE I EVER MET)
Sgt Montesdioca
Sgt Lovley(PIMP) could sing his lungs out
Platoon 2085..I miss you guys..and my boy Zisel, and Russo from NY I hope ya read this would be great to hear form ya...and Big bad Sullivan

Its been almost 12 years now and i still remember every day at that place from the time i arrived on the bus, to the yellow foot prints, to receiving, to graduation. I remember the faces, sounds, feelings and emotions i felt, smells in the air, the taste of Chow hall food, and those remarkable men who turned me into a Marine. They(recruiters and friends) told me before i enlisted that it would be an experience that I will never forget...they were right. 12 years and i still remember it like it were yesterday.

I bet that in 50 years from now, you will still have the same quote!
