Sorry Sarge.... I’m “A 90-Day Wonder” from the 98th Officer Candidate Class at MCDEC, Quantico, VA (June 13 - August 20, 1976)! By the way, the late GySgt Carlos Hathcock USMC was our Marksmanship Instructor while we were at The Basic School. What a Marine!

My “Twilight Tour” was at MCRD, Parris Island. I was the XO of “Heat & Steam” Battalion — H&SBn with collateral duties as the OIC, Casual Company, Depot Traffic Magistrate and OIC of the Regional Brig.

Memories!

Just missed each other.

I was permanent personnel (S4) at OCS MCDEC until April 76, when I went to DI School

What a rare privilege.
