I'm fine with the caps. This *needs* to be shouted!

Prayers heavenward.

My husband was in AOCS at Pensacola in the early 80's.

I was at AOCS in '82, class 36-82 in fact. Had two DI's, Staff Sergeant Wendt USMC and Gunny Thixton USMC (Thixton filled in after Wendt broke his arm playing ball). Say hi to your hubby for me, please.

We were in P'cola from 78-91, not service related, but saw a lot of air shows.
