Had a soldier report to Phase I, (old days), not feeling well. Got off the bus, did PT, gutted it out, no complaining. After dinner, reported to the Medics at Camp MacKall.

Soldier was medically dropped, reported that night to "troop barracks" near the old PX. Recovered, one week in bed, then did 6 months of SWC coffee boy chores.

Returned to training after convincing the CSM he left the 18th Abn Corp because was too valuable as a coffee boy there also. Told to the CSM, either send me to OSC or the "Q".

Ran into him in ANCOC years later -

Lesson Learned: Stick to the plan, be aware that situations change courses of action, but the objective remains the same.

Good luck.
