Best Friends Oliphant, Bier, Armstrong, and Jordan.
Best Moment Graduation Day.
Worst Moment When my rifle fell from the 3rd deck and landed muzzle first into the concrete missing another DI by inches. I was taken hostage until that evening before being rescued by my DI after doing untold numbers of push-ups and bends and thrusts.

Other Memories Given an ammo box by Sgt Sanchez to hand to a lady parked in a car at night while at ITS. Turned out to have a tarantuala in it and it was his wife I gave it to. She chased me across the grinder and I had no idea why she wanted to kill me. He was laughing his rear end off.
