they're still like that?
man, i was from there... fricken OC had a red beret and announced
on the very first day, "I believe in tough training" and it was
tough..
the man was tough but fair.. making his recruits go through tough
training but never hesitated to look out for our welfare.. even
getting into an argument with the CC and the PTI (a lost cause)
then telling us straight that he lost the argument...
so he told us to wait 5 minutes, went into his office, came out
with his equipment and went with us for the log-PT and then went
with us on the SOC too...
cool dude.. led by example 
back to the spooky bits... the whole of Camp 1 was a refugee camp
in the past.. built to handle the Viet and Cambodian boat
people...
