Boot camp...I wa the company guide-on...Carried the company flag...Front row 1st column...
We were marching one day about a week before graduation and a band was practicing up the field from us...I was watching them...
I thought we had not made any maneuvers in a while so I glanced to my left...
No one was there!!!!!
I turned and looked back and the company was standing at attention about 15 yards behind me and the DI was standing there with his hands on his hips...
I ran back and got into formation and he came eye to eye with me and said, “Well!!!! Mr. Wise likes to march!!!! Let’s let him march!!!”
He had the company fall out in the shade and marched me around in about a 5 yards square...Left! Right! Right! Left!
Everyone started laughing...Even the DI and I started laughing and he stopped then...
If it hadn’t been close to graduation, I believe it would’ve been worse....
“””Boot camp...I wa the company guide-on..”””
That should be “guidon”. ;¢}
