Apologies I made a mistake I was a Bravo Company Hat and a Recruit with Delta. My mind was stuck on my Recrui times 😅
That’s a hell of a legacy! Semper Fi, Devil Dog!
Semper Fi
I am from Anderson S C , I had never heard of Parris Island, until that motivating day that I stepped on the yellow foot prints. Plt 1130
Semper Fi, Marine!!
I was in 1st battalion Bravo CO. PLATOON 1108 in 91 the very next series behind you in AUG.
How time flies. However, I was Delta Company as a recruit. Bravo as a DI. But I'm sure our paths crossed. 1st Bn oohra!
I was there 97-99 as series cmdr/hq co cmdr/co xo. LtCol Mercado was bn co then if I recall. That was a good tour. Had some good DIs.
Btw, I was a boot in 3rd Bn, platoon 3077 in 1987, so I been on both sides of it. I preferred time as officer on PI. It was a lot better. Had great DIs and my series chief was outstanding gunny.
I was in 1002, Delta in Oct 1991.
3068 Mike company 1995 here
2nd battalion golf c. Graduated june 2 1989.
wow that picture has not changed . I got the same Pic in the same location and mine was taken in 1969. PLT. 276 2nd Bn.Second to none. Semper fi my brother
1056 (Honor Platoon) right here, Senior Drill Instructor. I had a wild route the Marine Corps and ended up becoming commissioned later on. Upon my last Regimental OOD as a 1st Lt before getting out, I'll never forget walking up to the Regimental CP to begin my last time on duty and seeing the SNCOOD ahead of me, putting his duty belt on... then turned around only to feel what it must feel to see a ghost who had a baby with a pops you don't f--- with. No one could've written a better ending to my USMC life, and I feel that most may have some doubt that I really had the 1 in millions privilege to stand duty with my SDI. You even looked at me like, "What the hell's this turd's problem?" , then you looked at my name tape and I saw you thinking, "Where do I know that name?" Didn't take but a minute to confess (before risking an "integrity check"😅), "I was one of yours. You're my Senior Drill Instructor. Your last platoon, 1056 -- Honor Platoon." I'll always be grateful as hell, having that chance to ask all the "Why did you guys smoke us when we did XYZ..." questions, "Why the hell didn’t crappers have toilet seats?" or confessing why I was late to relieve late chow at rifle range because I had to shit so bad so I slammed a porter jon en route, only to discover my canteen fell in the can & had to fish it out. Hope life is going good, Sir.
S/F, Danish

MSgt, I saw another vid of yours with the 1056 Rifle Range flag that Smitty did. Smitty & I enlisted together. Although he spins the truth of how he became "Art Recruit" (he tells everyone I told Blake he was an artist -- "Blue Falcon'ed" him), the truth is we were told by 2nd FAST Company Marines at our "going off to boot camp party" to NOT volunteer to be scribe or art recruit. When Drill Instructor SSgt Blake (later met up with him as a First Sergeant attached to TF MP 3/10) said, "If any you dink you an artist or some shit, step underneath my lights." Smitty's dumbass stepped under the lights along with 6-8 others. Unfortunately for Smitty, he was the closest to Blake. After a short exchange, Blake deemed Smitty "Art Recruit" -- but it didn't stop there... Oh no... my best bud made his first (unrealized) Blue Falcon move and said, "Sir! Recruit Danish is an Artist too!"
Blake said, "You see Recruit Danish underneath my lights, ding?" Smitty glanced to his left, searching all the way down the squad bay. Yeah, my ass hadn't forgotten the advice from 2nd FAST. I stayed on the line.
Smitty, confused with a hint of "wtf, Danish?", snapped his head forward and yelled, "NO, SIR!"
Too which Blake replied, "Well I guess Recruit Danish cain't ART!" 🤣😅😉
Smitty remembers what you said when you first saw the platoon range flag: "What the...? That's f-ing cheesy, Smith." 😁 Thank God his smokey racks turned out better (I'm a better artist by the way... and now I'll haze myself for an integrity violation, but worth it).
Not sure how to exchange contact data privately on here (never done it), but if possible, I'll pass my info & Smitty's.
Bravo 1072 from 7-9 00 - the group that had the kid who went UA in the middle of the night trying to escape the island. Don't suppose you've got a spare yearbook from that cycle? I've been trying to get a copy for nearly 20 years.
@@SteveIIMEF no extra copy. I actually don't have the books for all the platoons. Just the platoon photos and the platoon sheets with each recruit. I know they used to store books for a limited time at PI but 20 years probably not. Time flys.
@@MSgt_Boon Was a long shot ask but thanks either way! I visited the PI library earlier this year and was told they no longer store books from that far back. See them on eBay from time to time but just never for my group. S/F
Uhhh Rahh! Good night Chesty Puller, wherever you are.
