Submitted by Jim Fort Jackson SC X co. I got to basic at a soaking wet 122lbs and 510, and was kindly greeted by DS R. who was no taller than 5 foot 4 inches tall but she was one of the scariest people i have ever met. She had no problem bumping me down a flight of stairs with a ruck on my back and felt the need to make up for her lack of height in volume of voice. She was relentless, and it seemed to me and other battle buddies that I was always the the focus of her ire. Just because, she would wake me at 0230 while letting the others sleep. DS C was a male drill who was even shorter than DS R. I am by no means tall, but if the top of DS Cs campaign hat was at my nose level...that was high! about halfway through BCT, DS C jumped on the bandwagon with DS R and made life even more difficult for me. Fast Forward to graduation day; I am standing there with my family now a soaking wet 155lbs, as DS R and DS C come walking up, and all i can think is OMFG they are going to torment me in front of my family, When DS C out reaches his hand to my father and says Jim great to see you! As soon as I realized this was YOUR son...life became fun for me! let me tell you! and DS R reaches her hand out also to shake my fathers. They all embrace, laugh and I stand there perplexed. After a few moments it is explained to me that DS R and DS C were both from my hometown in New Jersey. DS C went to High School with my father, and DS R went to school on the other side of town, but was good friends with him growing up.
