I was a Drill Sgt @ Ft Jackson, SC in the early 1970's & was in the same Basic Training Company as SFC Capers (B-7-2) I very much enjoyed being in his presence & working along side him. I remember his big Buick, and his best Drill Sgt friend, SSG Morris....RIP..............

Please everyone try to hold up in this strange season. These are definitely trying times but know that God makes no mistakes. Lets try to be a family that pray together and/or for one another. Know that it is time to put away childish thoughts. If lessons to be learned, we can unite and be stronger. God Bless I love you all.
