I can remember the 32 hour inspection and boot burning.....there was some hot sauce involved somewhere in there as well
The Mardi Gras was cool to march in....have some pics of that somewhere.

My misspent youth- Was in the Corps May-November 1973. Spent a lot of time at Cousin Hugo's bar. Those 7 months were some of the best during my AF tour. Had a great time with T.C., Mark Klenke, Jim Criswell, and a few others whose names I don't remember. I do remember the "RED-EYE!"

drone- Great memories!!! I was the last barracks chief in the WWII units. Literally moved into the newer dorms two days before I left. No way I was going to move all my stuff in there just to pack it up a day later so I stayed in the old barracks solo for one night. That was kind of weird but fitting.

To be 18 years old with the knowledge and life experience I have now at 45.-
I don't remember a whole lot from that time. I remember the first week or so I was there we had to march in the Endymion
Parade. Cold and rainy. They had told us to just go with the flow because of the crowds and just take whatever they handed you so, we got handed lots of booze. I went on to Germany and joined the Honor Guard there.

Color Guard- I was with the Blue Knights when we participated in the Sugar Bowl Parade in 1971 when the Air Force Academy was playing against Tennessee. What I recall about going to New Orleans on that trip was that we had arrived quite early before the parade started. They foolishly allowed us to wander off to visit Bourbon Street with instructions to be back before the parade started. And let's just say that there were more than a few Blue Knights who staggered through the Sugar Bowl parade rather than marched it!

Grechka-
Herald soprano. Thanks to the standing pass, I worked as waiter/bartender/bouncer in the Dixieland Lounge in Pascagoula Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights when they had live music. My roommate, Carl Bender, played lead guitar in the band there. Smokey from the Triangle played piano. Rhythm guitar and drummer were Pascagoula locals.
My favorite cadences were Split 9 and Spastic Spider.
