I was the 101st Airborne Rangers, ROTC. We trained right there in Ft. Custer. The Sgt. major trained us and this guy was in `Nam and stuff. We were out there working with the National Guard on maneuvers late at night. They showed us everything. We went to the range, shot M-16s, M-60s - did everything but sign up for the Corps. I learned discipline there. Every cadet wanted to outdo the other cadets and be the straightest arrow. My hair was buzz-short. I`d shave my head every morning. We were fanatics. This is probably why I`ve got a lot of muscle memory. It kind of helped me out later in my life. Oddly enough I still wake up five in the morning. When you have someone yelling in your face at five, you learn to get up at 4:59. - On his background and why he is a disciplined person.
- Evan StoneNow that I`ve come to UC, I realize how supportive this university is of the military, ... ROTC classrooms are new and the programs are well funded. People really seem to care.
