My dad went to Navy OCS in 1969. He graduated in 1970 and became an Ensign in the South Vietnamese Navy.

I became a PAO for the Navy following OCS in 1997 and retired in 2008. Currently working as the PIO for the Bossier Sheriff's Dept, and I work closely with our Young Marines program which makes an incredible difference in the lives of young people - my 10-year-old son is a recruit in his 6th week of 13 weekends of training. A volunteer instructor is First Sgt. Cedric Donald, a former DI, and he does a remarkable job. You'd be so impressed with the program!

First Sgt. Crouch, this brought back some incredible memories. I remember that dungeon well.  As I was watching, I noticed the other person passing by, and upon reading your notes here, I realized it was who I thought it was, my class drill instructor, GYSGT Woolet, United States Marine Corps! I was a proud graduate of Class 21-97 and have thoroughly enjoyed these videos. I actually wrote you about a year ago. We run a Young Marines program here at the Sheriff's Dept.

Good catch at 0:35. That's the type of stuff that saves lives.

I know you meant it as a compliment. I left in Feb 98'. The only DI I know of present when I left fitting a small stature was SGTMAJ Doyle Braddy. He was a GYSGT at the time.

I am glad you got your commission but in regards to your gift on the steps...OUTSTANDING performance on your part. The note was the best!

@crouchje He got a commission? I'm kind of surprised, seemed like he was born to be a DI. I hate to admit it, but I was a DOR. I really had no business being there, I didn't get the MOS I wanted and basically did it because I had nothing better to do. But I regretted quitting so much, I did become and Air Force officer eventually. As I was leaving after my DOR, I left a bottle of cognac on the DI steps with a note: "Dear GYSGT Burleson, have a drink on me. Sincerely, A Friggin' Individual".

[crouchje]

Yes, the one and only First Sergeant John E. Crouch, USMC retired. I locked on Major Scott Burleson. Guess you didn't know he got a commision did you?
