2 years of extensive drills with the honor guard battalion made it worth while during ROTC. Even more so with the required silent drill performance during key events.

However, it was more fun running around for a few days in the hills and grasslands of Fort Magsaysay. We sleep in foxholes and a bath was a luxury. The straps of our packs dig into our shoulders while walking and running for hours. The company radio is a b1&ch to carry. It was good I had an M16 as those given M14s complain how uncomfortable it is to run around with.
