formation, and Kevin was standing beside but slightly
apart from the platoon. As I walked up to the
formation, I saluted him and said ”Good morning
Captain”. He dropped his
voice about 10 octaves and
came back with a gruff “Good
morning, Lt. Buse”. You guys
cracked up. So did I,
internally.
I do remember your
graduation and had one
driving thought at that
ceremony. As I sat and
watched the ceremony
unfold, I could not help but
think that the third platoon
was a wonderful group of
officers that had well met the
challenges of TBS and was
now ready to go out and lead
our young Marines in the
FMF. I thought those Marines
were going to be lucky to
have you as their leaders.
They were.
I regret that none of us
served together again after
TBS. I would have loved that.
Take care. Stay well and God Bless you all. Buzz
