Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Skip Hebert; Breeding; Hubbard; Wright; Whitelance

Best Moment
On the plane after graduation, the flight attendant told me and Hebert - "I don't know what they do to you across the fence; but when ya'll come out you're all so nice!"

   

Worst Moment
Getting caught drinking coffee out of the Drill Instructor's hooch when I was on armory guard.

Chain of Command
Sgt. Leydig; SSgt Corte-Real; SSgt Littles; SSgt Newman (Senior)

   

Other Memories
Baby Godzilla!; Whitelance's art on our sweatshirts; Gessel twins; Ramirez twins; Drill Instructors couldn't pronounce my name...
