Fall of 1986. I’ll never forget the first words my DS said to me. We were getting off the bus from the induction center at our unit. The DS looked at me and said “what state are you from twinkle toes?”

I replied “Florida drill sergeant.”

His reply was “no you’re not! You’re from the state of confusion, now beat your face!”

In 1992, I made my 6. About 2 weeks later a new 6 was assigned to my unit. It was that very same DS. We became good friends and laughed regularly at that story.
