    Congrats young Devil Pup.

    Years from now you will remember that day.

    Without any effort I can tell you that I graduated on 10 Nov (A birthday Platoon) 1981 from Platoon 2068. DIs were SSgt Meyers, Sgt Burton and Sgt Molar.

    Some things Jarheads just don't forget.

    So what MOS did you get?

    Thinking is overrated. Hell, you're a Colonel of Engineers, you think about latrines and slit trenches...:exit:
