I was in company 127 from Oct - Dec 1975. Kind of makes me wonder how many companies of recruits were formed. I started active on 10/20/75.
I joined 29 Sep 1975 and was in company 109. CC was OS1 Watson. Seven years later returned to RTC as a CC myself. I loved it. One of the most rewarding tours of my career.
There was a maximum of 10 companies per training group which was the number of companies graduated each Friday. Companies were formed with 80 recruits per company, two companies a day Monday-Friday, but seldom graduated with a full complement due to setbacks, attrition, or recruits being thrown out of the Navy.
