The family “Black Sheep” now a “Black Widow”
Sgt Grit,
On June 24th, my brother, Lt. Col. Patrick Waugh, assumed command of MALS 13 "Black Widows" in Yuma, AZ. I was honored to attend his change of command ceremony where he assumed command from Lt. Col. Gregory Clarke. My brother is six years younger than me and I recall how displeased he was when I entered the Marine Corps in 1978. He was just 13 at the time. I still look back and laugh at how he wouldn’t even say good bye to me the morning I left for Parris Island, because HE wanted to be the next Marine in the family.

More DI Sayings
I am sure that everyone has heard it from time to time in The Corps but the most profound thing that I remember my SDI, GySgt Bruce E. Boltze saying to us was “The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war”. Gunny Boltze was promoted to CWO# and was shot down in an OV-10 Bronco over the South China Sea in 1971…his 3rd tour. Researching his accomplishments and medals, he was a Marine's Marine. Proud to have known him, even for only 8 weeks in 1969.

Memorable DI Sayings
I still remember this today, over 40 years ago, “I can't make you do anything, but I can make you wish you had”.
