PLDC

Alright guys, this is all I got... Thank you, SGT Santiago for the pics, and sorry if this takes forever to load...

Okay, how about a little story? One day, I got promoted to SGT. And suddenly, it was apparant that I goto school for it- PLDC. It was a sad day when I found out I would not be departing with my buddy, Vittorio from my unit, but as I was on my way to leave, he assured me that all was fine and well. And off I went.

It was scary at first, but I was in 3rd Squad, which made everything okay. Thanks to 3rd Squad of course. Okay so now I must name all of them (hope you all don't mind, lol): There was 1)Grady 2)Stillwell 3)Gulley 4)Abbott 5)Santiago 6)Wilkinson 7)Mello 8)Fortson 9)Durden 10)Jacobs 11)Hancock 12)Nolden 13)Monday 14)Keels 15)Herndon 16)ME! and our SGLs (the best) were SSG Torres and SSG Lucas.

So anyhow, yeah like it was all cool and stuff. We learned stuff, some of us did a lil bit of drinking (ahem) and had a pretty good time I think. I'll honestly say that I was sad to leave. I always am though after things like that- BASIC and AIT too, I was almost in tears at the thought of coming home. And this time too of course. I was able to ease some of my anxiety at the airport with Bishop though. Thanks man.

So I had a blast. Why? Who knows really. But I did.

All in all, I think we had a good time, no? Sure, we had our issues, but they always worked out somehow, why? Cuz we rule... HA!

This was at... uh... some restaurant I can't recall in Columbia (I think) while on our lengthy 6 hour pass... ooooohh

Here we are after getting our miles gear... sort of in the field... eh, well you know...

We put our time in, me made it thru, now we all can't wait to get the hell out! WOO HOO!
