In my mind’s eye I can still see him in all his USMC sharpness (creased shirt, perfect flat-top, polished boots), glaring down at us from the instructor’s podium, leaning slightly forward, cocking his eyebrow, then letting us all know (in that unique booming voice) that we were nothing but a bunch of “YOOO HOOOs!!” Hopefully, Sarge is putting in a good word for us remaining Yooo Hooos. You will truly be missed, sir.
