I entered the Army in Jan 66 and left Christmas eve 67, 1 week before the Tet offensive. After a couple days at Ft Leonard Wood, and the Ft Polk I took basic training at Ft Carson, CO.
Basic training was a joke. Cleaning a rifle and shining shoes were the only two things we did daily. Some days we marched around for an hour. On two days we went for a 4 hour march/walk. On most days we sat around doing nothing.
We had a 4 hour hand-to-hand combat class in which us trainees practiced against PFC lifers who had been busted down for bar fights. I, an above average HS 123 lb wrestler, but no where near a pro, went up against a 180 lb lifer and immediately put him in a cradle where he was helpless. Our hand-to-hand trainers were incompetent.
That is the total amount of our basic training.
So you spent the usual two years like most draftees? Do you recall doing the low crawl while machine gun bullets went over your head?. After BCT at Ft. Ord where did you go? What was your MOS? How many weeks of training did you have prior to Vietnam. You are the only army person I have heard of who had no marksmanship badge or qualification in the Army, much less one who served in Vietnam.
