Beginnings: Basic at Fort Benning

Once we got to Atlanta we became immediately lost. We were four Minnesota kids lost in the Atlanta Airport looking for our ride to Fort Benning. Riley, who signed up to be in the Army band. Jandro, a big guy, bar fight, women problems, now in Army. Some scrawny chatty kid whose name I don’t recall. He was going to the great Fort Benning Infantry School so he could be a paratrooper someday. I couldn’t stand the kid, really. Oh, and me. I was that kid the officers made fun of at the military processing station.
