Congrats on your admirable achievements after your active duty days, and nearing retirement. A Marine you will always be. Semper Fidelis. <br />PS Commentaries frequently address Marines.

My senior Drill Instructor was GySgt Froncek w/ juniors SSgt Stephenson, SSgt Eversmyer and of course the always loveable Sgt Claytor (the heavy). My series commander was Lt Biggs with Lt Weddington as the assistant. It seems like yesterday I was waking up to the sweet sounds of chaos and counting off on line. My how the time flies. I served from 83-89 and in 3 short years can retire from my civilian job as a police officer. I vividly remember the speech you gave us as we gathered in one of the squadbays seated indian style left hand left knee right hand right knee with head and eyes to the front. It dealt with soon earning the title Marine and going home feeling like a bad ass looking to prove yourself. A lesson well taken. Although I am now 46 years old I still feel I can take care of business if necessary. A state of mind and confidence that you just wouldn't understand unless you completed recruit training at Parris Island. What's the saying, Not as mean but still just as green ! Thank God for US Marines and those that trained us.

I cannot agree more with Andy's comments, "F" Company was something special, the camaraderie we had I had never experienced it anywhere else before or after. The officers and enlisted men were special and still are. Then 1stSgt J.E. Moore, in my opinion, provided leadership to both officers and enlisted, which is unmatched by any other 1stSgt I had ever been associated with! <BR/><BR/>Semper Fi!<BR/>Alfred Karam<BR/>MGySgt (Ret)<BR/>DI 1980-1984aakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661230428186076297noreply@blogger.com
