Question: You look like a Drill Sergeant Dungey I knew at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in the summer of 1977, are you the same person? He was the best drill sergeant in A Battery, 2nd Training BN.
Reply: BIO LINK I don't know about best Drill Sergeant, I only won the Drill Sergeant of the Cycle once. But I did like that job.
Questioner: I was just a trainee then with the third platoon, across the street from your first platoon. Just wanted to let you know, you were a great inspiration to me and many of my fellow trainees back then. I remember how you took your platoon out on very long runs in the morning and then ran again with many of them in the evening. You were a great example and when I later became a Sergeant with the Third Armored Division in Germany, you were one of the role models I tried to model myself after. Just wanted to say thanks.
You should think about applying to be a Community Corrections Officer in the field or even a weapons instructor, you are extremely qualified for both positions.
Reply: I really did like that job, glad I worked for you. I am so old, but would love to be a weapons instructor, but there are a few others around, Library Keepers are in shorter supply.
I really did like that job, Drill Sergeant Oliver - future Houston Policeman, drag racer and Deputy Sheriff and my friend.
