The one thing that helped me was I kept telling myself that I was going to go home on an airplane in uniform not on a bus in civilian clothes. Just remember that if Lee Harvey Oswald can make it, anybody can. |

Just remember that if Lee Harvey Oswald can make it, anybody ca Actually, this isn't the case. Oswald went through basic training in the U.S. Army roughly at the same time I did. We were Depression babies and the army took what it could get. I especially remember "Pop", an ancient 28-year old who had several fused disks in his back and so had a peculiar gait. We had another guy who cried when the First Sergeant yelled at him. "Goddammit, why are you crying?" "Because I'm afraid of you, First Sergeant." That winter, Golf Co 272 Inf Reg 69th Inf Div had five platoons: the 1st, the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, and the college graduates who trickled in long after the others got home. When I started basic, I could do 18 chin-ups. When I finished, I could do 13. We were not a very fearsome group. It drove the cadre crazy, because they were all veterans of Korea. We were not a very fearsome group. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Expedition sailboat charters www.expeditionsail.com |

Actually, this isn't the case. Oswald went through basic training in
the U.S. Army roughly at the same time I did. Oswald went through Marine Recruit training. And there is generally no comparison between Marine recruit training and the recruit training of the other branches. I saw some tape of a recent Army recruit graduation. They were not even marching in step. Walt |

That's the benefit of the "Army of One" campaign, they were all in step. :^) -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) |

After a hard day's work on the rifle range, we used to go into Trenton, find a marine, and beat him up.

Trenton, find a marine, and beat him up. I suppose that might be possible for you and some number of your friends. Walt |
