The Bearded One...The Bearded One... doesn't ring any bells.
The reason was that you actually taught classes during my class (Jan 95)! I got to experience "Santa Claus", another bearded one, but not "The Bearded One", Sometimes I think that I lucked out as your reputation preceded you SGM, but we must have been on Santa Claus' "Naughty List" because several days into the RTL I thought it was real!
BTW, when he was teaching classes, he was really, really nice!
Best training I think the Army has to offer!
