All these guys were dropped from other plts and bns for various reasons... thought to be unfit but we needed bodies. That Plt was a challenge... we had 4 DI's and we were all very experienced.

    If you did not see your DI in later Plt's maybe he was relieved for various reasons or went to classroom trainer or even receiving? Not a lot of us completed our tours... I think I was one of 9 that did out of a class of like 70.
    Did you know SSGT Valancourt/SGT R.Kay/SGT T.Fagan ? all were second battalion ? I did meet SSGT Valancourt at Pendleton on his way to Nam in 1969. Moz 68-70 USMC

    Seems like I may remembera Gy. Valencourt teaching at DI school but can't be sure. The others are not familiar but did know a Fagan years later after the field.
