I got out of active duty marine corps, and joined the army in the year 2000. I was stationed in fort sill ok, then went to baumholder germany. Got promoted to ssgt in the year 2001. spent 7 months in kosovo, and got out of the army in the year 2004.
Best Friends Sgt. kinard and I were always competing with each other on who was going to recruit the most boddies that month. SGT. Harris down in Tupelo MS. was my duck hunting buddy. SSGT. Leverette was my NCOIC as well as SSGT. Marburger. (could be spelled wrong.)Also my mentor in training CPL. Tanner.
Best Moment Winning all those awards! Rookie recruiter of the month, Recruiter of the month 8 times, Rookie recruiter of the year, 8th marine corps district, Recruiter of the year, Heavy Hitter award 4 times, along with most productive recruiter of the year.
Worst Moment getting my SSGT. promotion warrant torned up in front of my face by my commanding officer. Had a recruit dime me out because I talked to the judge and got him off of probation so he could join the corps. He told on me, and subsequently, I got NJP for fraudelent enlistment. After all of those awards, and all of the bodies I put in, that's how I got treated. That's why I joined the army.
Chain of Command Gysgt. Harris, Major Edmunds, SSGT. Leverette, SSGT. Marburger.
Other Memories Having that mission accomplishment attitude. No matter what, be honest with telling a recruit about the marines, and don't be shy to talk to people.
