Can't recall any such planes in '93. I only remember the civilian craft and the one time that a C-5 landed. That was the biggest thing I have ever seen in my whole life--that could fly. And it was the only time I remember that the DI's ...

I would like to note I was in one of the last series to train with the M-14. It really p*ssed me off to see the platoons a few weeks behind us doing up and arm shoulders with M-16s.

For us, the driver parked the bus told us to wait there. We sat in the bus what seems an hour but was probably only a minute two. Then a gang of DIs came out and started banging on the bus and yelling. "get off the F***ing bus! Get on the yellow footprints!"

I went through Navy bootcamp at San Diego in 1972 and didn't see anything like that either. Of course, our company commanders were very good at keeping our eyes focused on the task at hand so I didn't get to look around much. Plus the USMC ...
