John,
Welcome to NavyVets. We were in Orlando about the same time, but different company. I was in 127. I have to agree with you on the boot camp experience. Wasn't my favorite either. I recall one morning I was real hungry for breakfast and ventured out to try the eggs. (a bit green). Puked my guts out on the sidewalk and then I had to mop it up. From then on I knew it was going to be a challenge.
