How many people have looked up their Drill Instructor, Drill Sergeant etc on social media? Did you try to make contact??

I don't even remember the name of my Drill Sergeant and social media didn't exist until about 30 years after I was in basic. However he was a nice guy.

SGT Jerrold Pesz, you were fortunate; mine was a stentorian runt.

Capt Seid Waddell When my high school buddy was drafted in 1953 he attended MOS 1711, Light Infantry Training at BCT in the ‘Flying 63rd Infantry’ of the 6th ID at Fort Ord. Frank’s entire term of service was as Cadre at Ft Ord. He saw a lot of our HS Classmates pass thru Ft Ord. Most weekends he would drive to his folk’s home in Castro Valley and his mom would do his laundry. I do not know if he was really mean but he told of being chastised for damaging too many Helmet Liners by slamming them to the ground for emphasis!

LTC Stephen C., is it possible that he didn't stay in?

Capt Seid Waddell, this man might well be his son, considering name and hometown. I tried to reach out to him before, while he was still with the FBI, to no avail. I think he is now with a private securities firm and I simply ceased efforts to contact him.
