I saw your response, but it was blank!
DI is Marines. He was in the Army. Drill Sergeant...same thing I guess.
Yep, he was in for 8 long years. Got out right after Desert Storm, kept his mouth shut and his head down! They would have brought him right back to train more troops.
He spent the first few years in Germany. When someone says it's cold he laughs..."Cold is when you're in a fox hole and crying from the cold but the tears are freezing on your face"
For some odd reason they managed to entice him to re-up for another 4 yrs. They baited him with Drill Sergeant school.
My favorite story is when a radio went missing, he waited till everyone was in deep sleep, tossed a metal trash can in the middle of the barracks, made them come out in what they were wearing (boxers, briefs, whatever) to roll in the sand pit until he was bored. He let them go back in with the PROMISE that if the radio didn't show up, it was going to happen again. He went back in...moments later there was a timid knock at his door...he took his time getting there and lo and behold there was the missing radio! :)
But don't let that Drill Sergeant past fool you. He's really the softest hearted MAN on the planet...When I brought home the 1960's movie "Incredible Journey" within the first 15 mins he was crying. That's a REAL man. :)
Animal Rescue is _NEVER_ time wasted ! .
I didn't know Kevin was a DI .
