Personal Memories

Best Friends
My initial company at NTC San Diego was 056, but within a few days auditions were held for the Drum & Bugle Corps so I tried out and madt the cut. The remainder of my training was with Company 4006.

Best Moment
Marching to colors every morning and evening; playing for the graduation ceremony; our picnic to Admiral Baker Field.
   

Worst Moment
I recall that liberty days were significantly curtailed due to some sort of sickness going around.

Instructors
P.L. Hargis MM1
   

Other Memories
I met many great musicians and future sailors.
