The high points for me were anything to do with combat training. I loved it. Pugil sticks, confidence course, obstacle course and of course PT. I loved book training and wanted to learn as much as I could about everything. I HATED drill. I know that we all have to become one sound, snap and pop and I loved it when we got to that point. I loved that we could do inspection...ARMS! And sound like one person with one rifle. The pit sucked, especially when we had to "make it rain".
Senior Drill Instructor Staff Sergeant Lemmon. He NEVER, EVER yelled at anyone. He was Force Recon in Nam and I respected the hell out of him. I saw him in Okinawa 3 years later and found out he was in my Bn. He remembered me right away. His encouragement keeps me going even now.
