I'll never forget my DS in BCT - SFC Soloman - Korean War vet with 187th and combat jump star on his Master wings - two tours in RVN with 173rd - harder than the proverbial set of woodpecker lips - made sure everything we did was done to his standards and for our being able to accomplish the mission - bottom line with him was that he sought to ensure we were up to snuff in the event he was ever our Platoon Sergeant in combat.
