Last Easy Class
I think I was a class or two ahead of TR (grad july 84) and I have always said "I went through the last easy class" However, in reality i guess it wasnt that easy. I probably had the same cadre and definitely had the same stats as TR. 500 show up at pre phase, 250 start phase 1 and something over 100 finish Phase 1. lose a few more in phase 2 and a couple in phase 3 and of course the two idiots (both sadly aquantainces of mine) that got a DUI the night before graduation and tossed out and literally shipped to Alaska. Lots of the people that failed out ended up in the 82nd as they had already PCSd to Bragg. TDY to a selection process makes a lot more sense to me. I didnt realize that a bunch of the Cadre were relieved. TR - was SSG Tacia still one of the TACs when you went through? Will always remember that guy. I am somewhat bothered by all the info out there and think some of the mystery of the course is gone but if the process still produces a high quality SF Soldier then i guess it isnt all that bad.
