Gentleman, I started training Jan 68. Very tense when Pueblo was taken. We all came down with colds and sore throats during the bitter cold G'Lakes winter.Our main instructor was AMS1 Aswegan(guessing on the spelling). He was an excellent motivator without abusing us. A natural leader. the fact that we were COLOR Company at graduation tells all. I was the RPOC, carried a sabre during drill and barked out drill movements. I went on to RM school,Canal Zone, DeepFreeze,Gator Navy off Nam. Any recruit shipmates please get in touch. Live in WA state now. Then, in Chicago.
