russn, thank you for those pictures.. if you substitute subdued insignia on the fatigues, that could have been my class
Glebo, it is sad.. I got to TG already knowing IMC, so it was not the trauma that I know it was for some.. in fact, I entered the 05B Phase 2 about halfway thru the IMC portion, and had to prove I could do 15/15 to get in (otherwise it was 12B or wait 16+ weeks
)
But even in my time, code skills were marginal - in 1978 they decided to have every 05B in Bad Tolz do a 15/15 code test (at the Comm school there) - one guy passed
