Personal Memories
Best Friends Sergeant C.E. "Jim" Barnett who had been the Physical Fitness Instructor at PISC. He went to Kansas.
Best Moment Graduating with Honors. The Battalion Special Order assigning our 8411 secendary MOS listed the following: MSgt. P. Conti; SSgts. R.E. Alford Jr., C.E. Barnett, T.R. Behler, J.E. Beard, D.A. Boyle, J.A. Brown, myself, R.O. Clapp, R.R. Corriveau,R.J. Cox, W.E. Davis, J. Dawson Jr, J.D. Dilley, S.W. Fitzpatrick, J.E. Fox, O.A. Grishkat, H.L. Haas and SSgt. J.L. Held.
Worst Moment Getting the phone call from my first wife that she wanted a divorce 2 days before graduation.
Chain of Command Maj. Twilley was the OIC and MGySgt. Teeter was the SNCOIC. MSgt. Jack Sexton was a great instructor, who later became a good friend.
Other Memories Being told that their "policy" on Weight Control was that we had to be 10% below our maximum by graduation. I was about 6% body fat at the time. Basically had to starve to death and PT our butts off!
