But my friend is first seen about 2.05. All candidates should stand during the credits.

When we checked into SFTG from Airborne in July '70, D Company's 1SG, "Rocky" Lane <sp>, explained to us that every morning at first formation, we'd be singing the first verse of "The Ballad of the Green Berets"! IIRC (which gets hazier daily), we did it at first formation at Camp Mackall - at least for the first two weeks - before our morning run-rucksack run-or game of "canteen football". Are such things (the singing - not the "canteen football" - still done????

They also showed the movie at the base theatre at Ft. Gulick around July '71. We (A Company) were marched down to see it. SF marching to a movie. IF I hadn't been in "formation," I'd have wanted to take pictures.
