I was operations Sergeant of Charlie Company 369Th when I retired in 93.
Small world.
But the one thing that the Army takes in Basic is your Childhood.
So hows Ft Gordon these days?

That is a good question to ask for a $100.00. You're station in Ft Gordon, Ga? If you have three tries, I hope that you didn't tell him it was cigarettes and lighter. That is a no go at that station, young solider! Here is a hint for you, if you have gone throught basic training. The answer apply to you as individaul, its have nothing to do with what you took with you. Its have to do with YOU!!!! do i get a cut? hehehehe The Army of ONE!!

Your individualism. You learn how to rely soley on the guy next to you and you gain a mutual trust for one another even if you dont know each other. Teamwork wins the war.

Your hair is taken away from you when you enter basic training.
