I was first at Polk in June '68 but only made it to the Reception Station. Then they found out I was only 16 years old and I had to wait about a month for a Minority Discharge. I became the personal runner for a SFC Sallee, tall slim guy, and a SSG Cole, a black guy. Never forget them! Mean as hell to everyone else, but when they found out I was only 16 and going home, they treated me like family. Great Guys! One year later, my mother signed for me to go in and I was once again at Ft Polk in June 1969. Both SFC Sallee and SSG Cole were still there and remembered me. Still great guys but jumped my ass for rejoining! Was in Delta 3-1, Delta Dragons!Remember the BB guns and sniper ambushes? DiseaseVille had a motel with little fans in the headboard that I liked! They were like little cabins with a bathroom in between. My folks on one side and my girlfriend, sister, and I on the other. Needless to say, my little sister spent most of the night taking a shower! :-)
