I was in Infantry OCS from Oct 72 to Apr 73 next door to the 250 foot towers and everyday we would see some poor bugger steer into the towers and cling for dear life to that damn tower. When the winds were gusting a little, it would happen several times a day. After having the weekend off after commissioning, most of us started our Airborne class. Blackhats didn't like us much because there was little they could do to intimidate us. After 6 months of OCS bullshit and physical training, there wasn't much in the form of harassment that we hadn't already seen and their running pace was a lot less than we were used to. Remember running around the track across from the entrance to Infantry Hall for hours, daytime/nighttime, didn't matter. Only good memories of Airborne School. 2LT pay was much better than E-5 pay and as an officer there was no KP.
