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

During my junior year at Clemson University - February 1969, I was drafted and sent to Fort Jackson in Columbia SC. The Army said they weren't going to induct me because my eyes were too weak - One of every 20 draftees were being inducted to the Corps. A 7 foot 400 pound bald headed gunny with a chisled stone face dressed in his recruiter blues said "that didn't mean anything to the Corps" - "we'll point you in the right direction and you just pull the trigger". We left Columbia for the short drive to PI about midnight arriving at the yellow footsteps about 2 AM. The bus door opened and the Devil's bastard child introduced himself. So it began for me in platoon 226 that cold February night.

We were stripped and given a pair of skivvies - marked on our left sholders with a black magic marker (226) and the rebirth began -

So much to tell - I'll continue
