Best Friends I do not remember too many people in Boot Camp, but I do remember:
* The first time I had ever flown in an airplane, was when I flew from Boise, Idaho to San Diego to start boot camp.
* Going to bed at 2:30 AM and getting up at 4:45 the first night. After we were checked in that night, we were given an allotmant of clothes to stencil our name on.
* The haircut
* The shots we all received over a couple of days
* I was made a squad leader because I had taken ROTC
* Marching, marching and more marching.
* Inspections and push ups if any one failed the inspection.
* Taking several tests to determine what rating you could qualify for.
* Graduation cermonies.
* Going home on Leave.
Best Moment Being told that I could get the school I wanted
Worst Moment Being punished for other peoples mistakes
Instructors I do not remember my Chief's name, but if he felt some one wanted to go AWOL, he would tell them to meet him at certain place on the base and he would help them. No one did. I think most of the recruites were smarter than that.
Other Memories * Being in a burning building, and being asked, "where is the best air?"
* Being in a building and having it filled with tear gas, Taking off the mask and standing there for a few minutes without it.
* Jumping from a high tower, Taking our clothes off and making a floating life preserver out of Them.
* Our company inviting a pretty girl from San Diego to be our Sponser during graduation
