You obviously never met SGT Donald King nor SSG Freuhauf.I had the misfortune to have met both of them at Ft Knox,KY in 1969.I assure you that neither of them ever offered their shoulder to any recruits that *I* know of nor did they ever acknowledge the validity of any "stress card".And I'll wager that neither of them could even *spell* the word "mentor".

I went through BCT/AIT at Ft. Benning as a Cav Scout about a year ago. We didn’t have any stress cards or anything like that.
