Ah, the Memories of the DI!
Sgt. Grit:
Reading the letters from Marines about the "good ol' days" at boot camp, I thought back to those days of yore and remembered a couple of drawings I did shortly after graduation. I have attached them because I know Marines of all eras will be able to clearly identify with them. One is my depiction of one of my Junior DIs, Cpl J.L. Stelling. The other drawing is me receiving his, shall I say, moment of wrath?

Marines and Devil Docs and the holidays
Sgt Grit,
My name is Sgt. Carl Kurtz. I served from 1999 – 2005 as a 0311. I was with Marine Security Forces Kings bay 2nd Plt 2000 – 2002, 2/3 G Co 2nd Plt. and 1/23 B Co 2nd plt. I was on post when September 11th attacks happened, I did a UDP and Force Light 02, OIF II battle of Fallujah – Ramadi. I write to you because I was reading about the Devil dog who ran across an Older Marine and spoke of better days.
