Two class numbers
Started in Nov 83 and finished in April 84. Our class number in phase 3 was not the same as phase one and two. There was no break between phases. I do remember an unusually high number of people joining us at phase three. More than the normal medic additions. Maybe we meshed two classes?
We had quite a few Iraqi officers in our class. They were the good guys back then. I still remember a group of them sitting around a fire throwing on logs covered with poison oak and breathing in the smoke. No one offered to advise them this was a bad idea. They had performed extremely poorly during the course but knew they would not be terminated. (seems there was an incident with a Central American officer who recently failed the course) This gave them a fairly arrogant attitude. I suspect that changed some years later.
