Re: Infantry Blue Cord

That's right, it's honor hill, and there's no experience like the end of that ruckmarch when the rest of the battalion is lined up the street cheering you on and then going up the hill, seeing the signs bearing the names of all the battles fought by the Infantry. Then, of course, the crossed rifles ceremony makes everything you've done in the past fourteen weeks worthwhile. After that begins the worst week in Infantry OSUT, the recovery period(cleanup) for graduation. Graduation is cool too, with the bradleys and demonstration squad etc. Forgive me for rambling, just reflecting on good ole' Sand Hill.
