No, I was in 1076 exactly one year before you, in 1975; but the interesting thing about marine boot camp is that the experience of it is timeless. All marines go through it, and the fact that ours is the toughest makes us the proudest, and of course, the best! AUUUUraHHH! Take care Tom and Semper Fi!PhilippinesPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15921214743105919057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18348841.post-8076939448463465442010-05-12T02:29:07.463+10:002010-05-12T02:29:07.463+10:00Phil:

Then GySgt Pressler left, Sgt Detzel became SSgt Detzel and we picked up Sgt Hobbs.<br /><br />Wow and Thanks!<br /><br />Thomas Leno Platoon 1076, The Spirit of 76.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18348841.post-1130747910016955462005-10-31T19:38:00.000+11:002005-10-31T19:38:00.000+11:00My memory, like anyone's, tends to be selective. I...My memory, like anyone's, tends to be selective. I have to prompt it a bit to make the less poignant details emerge. And of course the point of the story is that moments of "Sheer Delight" are few and far between, so naturally when they DO occur, they form memories not easily erased. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to check your site to see if you've written anything lately. I hope so!PhilippinesPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15921214743105919057noreply@blogger.com
