Co. 947 Graduated on 17 Jan 1986. Well my friend, you may want to dig through your old files than to select from THIS list! This is all the "900" recruit companies at NTC Great Lakes in 1988. So, if you recognize your number from this list...Cool! 900 thru 942, 983, 997.

I know what you mean! I still haven't heard from anyone (of the 80 guys) that I was with in Company 947! And yes! ...It was REALLY cold there! One day, (with the wind chill factor) it got to 60 degrees below zero! We didn't even go outside! Brrr!

Man, I remember graduating during the '95 Thanksgiving weekend. Our Pass and Review was held on the Wednesday before...and it was so cold! By graduating on that Wednesday...we had liberty on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I was in Division 490 with PO1 Davis and PO2 Baena. I believe we were PO2 Baena's first divison...so PO Davis let him loose on us! I still wonder to this day how long they stayed at RTC as instructors and where their next command was?
