PRESERVING A MILITARY LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
The following Reflection represents PFC Eugene Jr. Broyls’s legacy of their military service from 1980 to 1990. If you are a Veteran, consider preserving a record of your own military service, including your memories and photographs, on Togetherweserved.com (TWS), the leading archive of living military history. The Service Reflections is an easy-to-complete self-interview, located on your TWS Military Service Page, which enables you to remember key people and events from your military service and the impact they made on your life.
List the names of old friends you served with, at which locations, and recount what you remember most about them?:
My best friend from Chicago, Miguel Morales, and I joined the U.S. Marine Corps together. In boot camp, we were required to stand on our footlocker every evening, and when the Drill Instructor stood before us, we had to yell, “Sir, recruit (so-and-so) has no physical or mental problems to report, Sir!” We had to yell this loud and so fast that you could barely understand what the recruits were saying. Well, my friend Miguel’s bunk was right next to mine. Miguel, always the joker, whispered *watch this*, and when Staff Sargent Martinez came before him, he yelled, “Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra!”
He figured since you couldn’t understand what the recruits were screaming anyway, he’d yell anything. Well, the rest of our platoon fell out laughing, and Staff Sergeant Martinez was so furious that he made us ‘bend and thrust’ for the next 2 hours! But we were all still laughing while ‘bending and thrusting.’ Well worth the comedy break…
