Funny, one of my best friends now was an ODU guy in my class, also had the

recruiter that I had. I actually met him for the first time standing at the urinal that first Sunday afternoon after checking in to the Regiment. One of his high school classmates (also a Hokie) was in our class and was my roomie, and our Class Officer was a Hokie, as well.

I’m sure we discussed before, but what class were you and who was your recruiter? I had that job in Richmond in 92 and 93. 😎

I was Regimental Sub-Commander (#2 in class) and I was responsible for getting the Battalions to their haircuts that week. No DORs, but some of my classmates that took Poopies saw a couple DORs after haircuts that week.

I was 03-86, Gunny Crenshaw was my DI. 👍🏻
