Not quite the same experiance for me and Rodney (Tolentino). We both walked into the Orderly Room of A Company, 6th - the CQ said that the entire company was out at Lake Nantahala in western NC - for EDH Support. The CQ said that he did not know what B Team or A Team we would be assinged to but he had been told that as soon as we showed up he was to get us all our CIF Issue stuff and put us on a Duce-in-half and send us on out to Nantahala so that we could pull KP and act as Isolation Area Guards.
And so it began....
(Just a note - back then, the B-Team is what we now call the "Company," the Company is now called the "Battalion" - so A-Company would now be called 1st BN)
