Personal Memories

Best Friends
Mike Burl - turned me on to some great Rock bands.

Best Moment
Service Week - Worked as MAA at the Receiving Barracks... Cake duty. Mostly sitting around in the MAA cage smoking and coke-ing.
   

Worst Moment
Company Commander told me that I could have been Company Honorman but my test scores were a little low. I couldn't keep awake in class!

Instructors
CC was AMH1 Oversen
   

Other Memories
Assigned as 1st Platoon Leader.

Boot Camp was pretty much a breeze since I had 3 years of ROTC in high school - Got me SN upon graduation.
