In the "new" corps, it's much more "teaching" friendly.
Just imagine the teaching methods used in 1925 when my grandfather was
at PI.
My DI was right out of WWII/Korea.

Heh... :)

Of course, that was 1966.
My DI at Airforce boot camp was a former Marine that served at Frozen
Chozen. Was a great instructor. We were the last flight he was in
charge of, as his next duty was as head DI for the USAF. We learned a
lot about life and survival from him.


And that was 1965.


Why would an Jarhead enlist in the AirForce? I guess it was for the clean
sheets, air conditioning and hot food in the chow hall, I mean dining
facility.


Better pay? I think there was a lack of slots after the war. Maybe he had
a brain. ;)
