Being given responsibilities a 19 year old would never get anywhere else. And doing a job most of my Generation would not do. But what I miss most are my brothers. What I could do for them and all they did for me. What I don't miss............... Death.

1stSgt (Join to see) well said and profoundly expressed! I truly can relate I was a Drill Sergeant and the brotherhood is how I survived on the trail.
Who knew 25 years and 3 days later, I would go to 6 combat deployments, serve in some of the finest units the United States Army could bestow on a Soldier. Most Ironically, Becoming a DRILL SERGEANT IN DECEMBER 2005 and serving at Sandhill, Fort Benning GA; with C/2-47 IN "Charlie Rock, Panther Battalion". I owe it all to my Drill Sergeants and a lot more gratitude. Thanks for training me to fight, win and survive and what the word BATTLE BUDDY MEANS. Yea, didn't know then, but boyee did they watch my 6 and cover me while I moved (the U.S. Soldier).

What's the line from "Good Morning America"?
"We got a water buffalo jack-knifed up on the Ho Chi Mein trail... we're gonna drop in a little napalm and see if we can cook him down."
