[QUOTE="Chas1, post: 392463, member: 15738"] 1/2 Slam, so true, your post brings back memories. PI 70' arrived 2am, my bunch must have been the last few they needed to form up as by 8am we were issued gear and introduced to our DI's. Church...it was the only way to escape the madness for 1 hour. Most folks don't realize it but in Marine boot camp there's no free time was so ever period. The DI's are with you 24/7, except for Church everything was by the numbers. When they said there was only one way on and off PI and that's through the gate they weren't kidding. I remember 3 recruits went AWOL on the 2nd or 3rd night, early the next morning the choppers went up and they found all 3 in the swamp out behind the rifle range. 2 alive, one dead from rifle range live fire, I guess before anyone knew they were out there. Our platoon started with 88, 40 graduated. My DI's were Carr, Conant and Vinson, any chance one of them was one of your DI's? [/QUOTE]
