I meant this as a reply to an article someone submitted about the current crop of recruits at Ft. Jackson. But I lost track of the thread or it died before I replied. Since I typed a long reply I wanted to post it somewhere. I Hope this is not the wrong place for it.

Dood Post Buddha. I did Ft. Jackson in late Aug. '68 and went on from there. I still have memories of that place. Some of which are almost pleasant.
We all gotta start somewhere..;-)

I remember doing my basic training at Jackson in 1963, and went the full route after that. My DI at the time was SSgt. Constable, and every day he told me I positively would not make it.
