Second highest in series on the range,231.[228,229 other years] That was the best for me!!! I LIKE weapons,I still thing back on the training now. When I teach people how to shoot[for fun,trying to change opinions on weapons ie:shooting Sport!!] Breathing control,Trigger control."BRASS". My range instructor ,Sgt Olson. I still have my range book and look at the note's in the back. I could not wait to get my hands on the M-16. I can't get into a real good sitting or knelling anymore but I do my best[bad back].

Platoon 1083 July-Oct 76. 13 weeks (give or take a day or two). Our platoon got all but two of their "awards", setting two Regimental records in the process. S/Sgt Knox became "Series Gunny" near the end of 2nd phase. Asst.DI was Tai Kwon Do champ of the base. Don't remember his name right now. Stocky dark green Marine. D.I. Sgt McCarthy was a little red-headed grunt. Tough as nails red neck. Co-owned a VW with another DI. DI sgt Pennypacker was transferred over from a sister platoon during third phase. Tried to break us fer whipping his first platoon all thru boot. Finally gave up and walked away laughing that Friday night. Our first jubior DI walked into the gear locker with a 6'5" fat body the first week of 1st phase. Sounded like a tornado for a couple minutes, then got real quiet. DI staggered out, leaned against the door post, and had one of the recruits go get help. Never saw either the fat body or the junior DI again. Never did remember his name.

There is no such thing as Dark Green or Light Green Marine Just Marine
