Probably 23 February when I went to boot camp and arrived on the famous "Yellow Foot Prints" that all Marine Corps Recruits stand on when they first get off the bus to begin their training to earn the title of United States Marine.

The day I took command of my first squadron. I was so grateful for the trust the Air Force showed me.

That ranks up there Brother Cpl Kirk S. I remember the day well when I earned the title but I remember the first night even more! Definite rude awakening and wondering what the hell did I get myself into volunteering to join the Marines.

In 1959 I was 18yrs old when I graduated from Boot Camp at Parris island. A Lt. addressed the
Plt, 332 after graduation and told us We were Elite, Their were only 180 thousand of us. At that moment I felt like I was one of the Best, Nobody was any better than I was. I'm 80yr's old now and I still fell the same way now as I did in 1959. Semper Fi.
