The Boot Camp Thread got me thinking....

Is there a Veteran here (of any country's .mil) that doesn't remember the exact name of their Drill (Instructor/Sergeant/MTI/Whatever the hell the Coasties and Navy calls them)???

Damn, I will never forget:

TSgt Murray
TSgt Corpus

Everyone else still remember the names of the persons who made life hell for quite awhile? (ex-spouses don't count...)

Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Navy. Company Commander Vincent. He tried be an asshole. He was actually a real real good guy. Often partied with him and his wife after getting out of boot in early 80 before going to the IO.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Hahahahaahaa...good question...

SFC Wadsworth
SSG Valenzuela
SSG Kelley

The latter on that list I just spoke to on the phone. He's on his mid-tour from Iraq and is now a good friend.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

SSgt. Lee. I still fear him. Especially after the morning he sent me out to run a mile to the mess hall to fill his thermos with hot coffee, and I screwed the lid back on too tight. When I returned, he poured himself a cup of java, and broken glass came tinkling out of the thermos. That was a bad day...

SSG Ray
SFC Slurnitzauer

SSG Ray was the meanest man I've ever met in my life. He was in his 50's and hated life when there wasn't a war going on.

How about if you ended marrying the guy later on the line. True story.

Than never to have loved at all.

But of course. That's what USMC boot camp turns you into. Really tough, well disciplined sheep, though. Baaaa!

[popsjumper 2]

Yes. I tried very hard to forget his name and have succeeded. Well, 37 years helped, too.

My reality and yours are quite different.

[steveorino 7]

Me, I don't remember the "leg's" name. I do remember him asking me what I was going to do, and I replied, "SF, Sgt!" He just smirked and said, "Yeah, right!"

Well, I proved him wrong. I went through SF "Q" course in '77-'78 and served on ODA 552 Co B 2nd BN 5th SFG. I went to UWO (SCUBA) school too. I believe I got the last smirk in.

Now, I do remember one of the three Drills was named Sgt Bishop. The dude was 6'8". He was hard to forget.

SGT Rutherford - the man was evil. always smiling.
