When transplanted into DP2, I was in an extremely unique position as my ASL was a fully competent squad leader. At first, I worried slightly that egos would clash and the partnership would be rocky. Boy, was I wrong. We’ve known each other for a while, but I don’t think we actually got to know each other until being assigned to the same squad. Since then I’ve counted every drill with Cpl. Pepper a blessing. The man has proven that he is ready and willing to help me guide the ship not as an assistant, but as a co-squad leader of sorts. On top of that, he was a pretty cute kid to boot! Cheers on your birthday, buddy. Here’s to many more you old coot!
