It was 0200 hrs on 23 Oct. '75. (I went delay entry just to make sure I was ready). I was asleep when we arrived at Ft. Knox. Before we got off the bus, this huge guy in a "smokie the bear" hat and a uniform with creases that could cut you, gets on the bus yelling, "[Explicative deleted] get off my [Explicative deleted] bus you maggots!" I said to myself right then and there (as probably every recruit has), self you have REALLY [Explicative deleted] up this time.

Among other names, the DI's called us "girls" from then till we graduated BCT.

I was at Ft Knox in '69.Did you,by chance,run across SGT King,SSG Freuhauf (?spelling),First Sgt Gonsalves or Cpt Webber? (They may have gotten promotions before you got there).

I was Echo/13/4.....what were you?
