Personal Memories
Best Moment Finishing the Course, and graduating in the top 10.	Worst Moment 3 mile swim, if it had not been for the Sgt. from 1st Force Recon (disbanded) I would not have finished. When we got to the rally point/finish line I could not walk for a bit of time... ( not enuf flutter kicks with fins on)
