By the time Vietnam got serious, I was graduating from college at USD (1968-BA English Major/Journalism minor).<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing with me. Stay healthy and enjoy life!<br /><br />Chuckchuckographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470680925439268623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25023774.post-14778173934989690372018-03-11T16:20:34.489-04:002018-03-11T16:20:34.489-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.chuckographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470680925439268623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25023774.post-47759765591498192452018-03-11T16:20:04.104-04:002018-03-11T16:20:04.104-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.chuckographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470680925439268623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25023774.post-11217587370131914842018-03-10T20:00:00.669-05:002018-03-10T20:00:00.669-05:00Off the train from Rocky Mount and onto the bus t ...Off the train from Rocky Mount and onto the bus t Yemassee the night of 22Aug67. Left my childhood behind in the yellow footprints later that night, and launched a career I will never regret. I just (Feb'18) returned to PISC to bury my Senior Drill Instructor, who I knew and followed for 51 years. He was buried just outside the Island in Beaufort SC. Toured PISC alone and hardly recognized it from the Nam era. My 2dBn barracks have been replaced by the new brick Recruit Receiving bldg. All the old wooden WWII barracks live now only in my memory. As a consolation, the yellow footprints have been moved onto Panama Street, directly in front of where our front hatch was. Thus, all new recruits and future Sgts Major begin their careers standing exactly where I wore 3 sets of heels off my boots, and sweat thru personnel inspections. OooRahh. I stopped at Yemassee train station on the way home and took pictures. Did not see the faded sign you showed; it must have been on the northern side of the bldg.
