Well my story is as a 17 year old.
In platoon formation and drilling Ft Leonard, MO.
Well, somewhere during the drill practice I turned right instead of left!
Well need to say more. That DI had me crawl to the sand pit and find the biggest rock.
I proceeded and from that day on I had to carry that rock, display it and even name it!
Needless to say it was a very clean rock.
