Whatever happened to GYSGT Dozier?
IIRC, he was famous for spot-correcting the drivers of cars passing too close/too fast to formation runs during morning PT.
(But in reply to your question, I don't know.)
Whatever happened to GYSGT Dozier?
Pugs, hate to be the bearer of bad news if you did not know but several of the DI's who were at AOCS when you attended have passed away recently:
First Sergeant Rick Bowling died a few years ago. He was about 52 yrs old as I recall.
First Sergeant Danny Hawks died 4/20/2010 at 59 yrs of age.
Major Tiburtius Gerhart died 4/1/2004 at 46 yrs of age. He had only been retired a couple years.
GYSGT Bernie Jones died back in 2006 as I recall MGYSGT Jerry Holtry telling me.
I have your class photo in high resolution scanned if you would like a copy. Contact me at aocs.stories@gmail.com
I busted a poser pretending to be from 09-87 three months ago. His name was Joseph Anthony Rossi who is down in Birmingham AL. He called me and the red flags started going up in three minutes and every few minutes thereafter. I also happen to have several years worth of class graduation rosters. Call me sometime and I will tell you the rest of the story.
Jeff,
Welcome to Airwarriors. I had just completed VP-30 and DH school with Mark prior to his leaving to join VP-47 on deployment. That was some awesome flying on you guys part.
Here's Jeff's story posted on vpnavy.com some years ago: http://www.vpnavy.org/vp47ditch.html
