Thank you for your service, Ern!

I was an Army type; went to Basic at Ft. Knox, Kentucky (Delta Company, 13th Training Battalion, 4th Training Brigade) in 1983. The outdoor Basic Training scenes for the movie "Stripes" were filmed at Ft. Knox and my platoon's junior Drill Sergeant liked to amuse himself by pointing out as many of the locations as possible. Not sure exactly what he was implying ;-)

Seriously, both Drills were tough but very fair and taught us a much more than we realized at the time. Many years and many miles later, I wish I could thank then-SFC Johnny Anderson and then-SSG John Covert for all they did.

I was Echo/13/4..."Echo/13/4,we always come back for more,Echo,Echo,Echo galore!"

..and many miles later, I wish I could thank then-SFC Johnny Anderson and then-SSG John Covert for all they did.

And I wish I could thank SGT Donald King for having taken me behind the barracks for having been from Massachusetts! ;-)
