I will have to say that is some respect it probably wasn't the best for them to send fresh quad "0"s to us before sending them to FMF School. I remember getting cut by a tri-wall box and one of them about to freak out because I grabbed a roll of electrical tape and a tissue to make a make shape band-aid. That poor boy kept telling me he would go to the ER and get a band-aid for me.
The other day I was talking with a high school friend whom I've not seen since '71 and we were catching up...I got to talking about the times overseas and I realized how much responsibility I had at 20 yrs old...more than I've ever had since, I guess, now that I think of it.
Like The Boss sings, "Glory Days, well, they'll pass you by..."
