My discovery moment was at the reception station at Ft Ord in 1953.
After washing my brand new fatigues in a mop sink and wearing them the next day, I was an “old” Soldier and could buck lines and act like I was really important to the newly arrived recruits.

I wanted to "quit" basic training before my second week was done. A new Drill Sergeant, Sgt Phillips, sat me down and talked to me. She convinced me to not give up and stick it out. **If anyone knows her, she was my Drill Sergeant in D-3-3 at Ft Dix during the summer of 83.**

Them there Drill Sargent are some kind of a empirical worker. A combination of Mom Dad every school teacher we have had social worker Chaplin and a few other things all in one. After training I could say I never meet a drill Sargent I did not like. I believe some of them were even Physic. I was lucky to be trained under two Star at the time General Moore at Fort Ord Ca.
