This was a welcomed and suprising change from basic training. We were in a dorm like environment.
Co ed environment led to some interesting times. The Cadre was relaxed. We went to class in formation. Overall it was a goid experience sirt of like a college campus environment. I can only recall a few names but many faces because as you can imagine there were some memorable charecters.
