…exactly 50 years ago today

On Wednesday Sept 9th, about a week after we arrived as the Advance Team, the other 78 Green Berets arrived and we started our training

The TOC log entry for Thursday, Sept 10th states, “Day 01 of training.”

The first 30 days of training was intense. The training started with PT every morning followed by running the Meadows Mile. Dick Meadows loved to run and he led many of our runs. Now I like to run, but not like Captain Meadows. If you were not in shape, you would soon be.
