During the eight weeks I was there (Ft Leonard Wood), we were taught knot tying, bridge construction, demolition, road building and combat training (rifle drill, weapons firing, close order drill, long tactical marches, etc.). During the knot tying training, I drove the sergeant nuts. Having spent many years in the Boy Scouts, I could tie most of the knots behind my back, which I proceeded to do whenever I was asked for a certain knot.

His Dad, he and his brother, and both my brothers are/were Eagle Scouts.
