Best Moment Drinking beer in the back of the bus after returning from Cyprus Gardens (our only day off base during the 14 weeks of Boot Camp).
Graduation
Worst Moment I was unsuccessful in inflating my pants during the ocean survival float training, so I ended up treading water for what seemed like forever. The instructor eventually extended a pole to me and pulled me out. I rolled over onto the coping and nearly threw up. A close second was getting my wisdom teeth pulled.
Instructors Our Company Commander, GMG1 Day (the rate could be incorrect)
Other Memories We had a record player in the smoking lounge that we all chipped in and purchased. Everyone contributed albums to the collection. This is where I learned to appreciate various genres of music. We presented the record player to our CC upon graduation. He was a good guy.
