While I never had the privilege, my dad was in the Army in the 60s and still remembers all those little details. The shit is crazy how ingrained it is I have a terrible memory and there are a lot of little details that I don't remember. When I am questioned on them, and can't recall what my rifle serial number was or roster number or class number, people might think I'm a poser. There are a few people on this board that know me personally from my days in the 82nd and when I was in the reserves at Ft. Gillem Georgia with the 1/347th. I hardly talk to anyone anymore about my service because of my memory issues. Lately it seems to be getting a little worse, but I can still recall rough dates of classes I've attended, but things like names of fellow class members and instructors are pretty much gone by now. I do remember my two drill Sergeants names from B Co. 2/58 Ft. Benning though. SSG Williams and SFC Jones. SSG Williams was a big 300lb black guy that terrified the ever loving shit out of me. He had a CIB and Master Parachute wings. Hey may of had a Ranger Tab and scroll for his combat patch (don't really recall). SFC Jones scared the shit out of me too but for different things. He was a quiet sadistic fuck that seemed to enjoy mind games. All he had was an EIB and he seemed proud of the fact it took him only 8 years to get it. Both were very effective instructors and I learned a lot from those two NCO's. |

I have pretty terrible memory, but I remember the battalion, company and platoon I was in during basic training in the regiment (back in the old country). I remember the names of many of my platoon mates, as well as the sergeants and platoon leader.
I do not remember my rifle's serial number.

Too many rifle and pistol serial numbers issued to me over 25 years. I do however still have my boot camp lock and remember the combo. 
On the 2nd day of boot camp I couldn't remember it and the receiving DI had to get the sealed envelope with the combo and open it. He was NOT amused and ohhhhhh did I pay for that. 
I never had a problem opening it since.

Rifle SN? No. Lock combo? No. Laundry number? Hell yes! 51! General orders?
 . I can remember a few but not what numbers they are.
Just kind of dawned on me that I hit PI on May 14, 1982. I was in receiving for a week. That's right. 35 years ago, give or take a day or two, I was ass deep in Black Friday. Good times. Good times. |

14!! My laundry/roll call number. I know all my general orders. I can't put them in the exact numerical order though. I did a career in the Corps so lots of that EST/BST knowledge stuff is permanently programmed in my brain housing group try as I may to purge some of it. Now, where's my car keys?!?!

It isn't made up...it was at our first bivouac, and he had laid his rifle down without having anyone watch it, and it got scooped up. The interchange followed him being chewed out for not taking care of his rifle. The DI told him to walk ten paces behind the rest of the company until they could get rid of him. It only took a couple of days for the paperwork to get rid of him processed. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Inside was a penis drawn with arms and legs, wearing a top hat and smoking a pipe. I figured it must have been drawn by a USMC officer. |

Quote HistoryLOL No, not a wizard. All masterlocks have the same combo scheme. Plus there's a fairly easy way to figure the middle and last number out by manipulating the lock, leaving you with only 10 possible combos.
It's pretty useful as a party trick or for playing pranks on people. IM me if you want to know more |
