"Davis" is my maiden name (what I enlisted under), but I was married for most of my tour in the Corps and went by the last name of "Burt". I quit using Burt in 1987.
Best Moment Standing on the deck and realizing that I was finally a Marine.
Worst Moment The absolute worse thing that happened in bootcamp was at Graduation. Our SDI had been trying to teach us silent drill. She had been trying for weeks, but it wasn't working. She told us that was what we were going to do at graduation. It was the worst mess. Nothing worked. After we got back to the barracks she chewed our butts out. She said that we had totattly embarressed her.
I never saw her again.

Other Memories No more DI's and hoping that the worst was behind me. Both grandmothers sent me 2 big boxes packed with homemade cookies. Had to share them with the whole platoon plus the DI's.
