Well Good Evening…
Thought you might like to see a couple of pictures of 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, "Eye" Company, Platoon 3137 at MCRD San Diego. Formed 7-24-69, First Training Day, 8-4-69, Graduated 9-30-69.
Platoon Commander: SSGT. David L. Noakes (Ret. SGT. MAJOR)
Drill Instructor: SGT. Curtis A. Kauffman
Drill Instructor: SGT. Alfred W. Schultz (we were his first platoon and he loved making us do PT!)
I'm third from left second row from the top. My starting weight was 220 and graduated weighing 180.
The B&W is Schultz making sure we don't pass out after taking shots during the first week of processing.
Semper Fi,
Jon Rodgers
I to was at boot camp as you were. Platoon 3139 I am sure we competed against one another. Sgt Timothy A Klein
