Wow, I first thought we were in the same platoon, just the DI’s looked different. I graduated Charlie Co. Plt. 1034. About two weeks before you. Weird.
Well, by pure definition, any Jarhead of less time in service is a “boot” to those who have been in service longer. However, there may have been a time when I could have called you boot (after all I was a 1/3 0311), but since I chose to leave my beloved Corps, it appears that I would no longer be allowed to use that term when referring to you. I guess technically speaking, I have now become the “boot.”
I was C 1/3 3rd platoon (same time frame). SSgt Waller was my platoon commander with Capt. Smith commanding. Lt. Kelly as XO if I remember and SgtMaj. St Pierre as BN SgtMaj. Sound familiar?? I went MSG after our trip to Australia.
Thanks for posting that photo! I actually lost all mine several years ago. Got any more from Our platoon? I’m right behind Drill Instructor Sgt Heiserer.
I believe you are the guide on dude.
You are the one with BURKE on his blouse SgtMaj.
Great picture!!

Coffey, see the next post. You are correct!
Oli, actually Marines didn’t have name-tapes quite yet, but good try!
Book, why thank you.

I was in 1/3 from 92-95. Charlie Company 2nd Plt.

SgtMaj St. Pierre was our Company 1stSgt when I was with Lima Co. 3/4 (1988). He was something else with his French Canadian accent. Lol!
He was my battalion SgtMaj in 1/3! I always thought he sounded like Blacque Jacque Shellacque.
I remember all of them. I also went to MSG in early ’95.
Funny. Its a small world.

Sorry, that’s all I’ve got from of the platoon from boot camp. Holy smokes, that was a million years ago.
