Well, we can see that Martin never learned the true art of subtlety XD.
It's honestly hard to pick out what I learned to while part of the Unit. As probably the youngest person to hit the rank of commissioned officer back when I left (for those of you who don't know me, I enlisted in the unit the DAY of my 16th birthday and made 2ndLt. by the time I was 18 or 19.), at the time I was also in JROTC in high school. Leadership was something I was able to put into practice on two fronts and learned it from two different perspectives back then.
I learned to lead, learned to follow, learned to adapt and overcome what were considered insurmountable odds. I learned enough that people here thought I should teach those who would be the future of the unit (I was DI back then). I learned to make friends and that no matter whether we won or lost a realism, if I had had fun; I had won.
In my tenure with the 1st, I had been part of every platoon. Even 3rd platoon before it was 3rd platoon, 1/3 is what it was back then. Though 2nd Platoon was my home for a particularly long time, I'll can never forgot the all the lessons learned and people met along the way.
Though I do still have 1 unanswered question to this day, What ever happened to Smokey Jones? God I miss that laugh.
