| I was different in that the other recruits were 18 - 22 years old. I was older than all my Drill Instructors and only a year younger than my Senior Drill Instructor.
They asked who was over 27 for our IST (initial strength test) at the beginning of boot camp. I was 1 of 2 in the entire company of 360+ recruits that raised my hand. So you can see how I stodd out from the rest in that way. Then there is the way I spoke and presented myself to the Drill Instructors. Most of the other recruits were intimidated by them and you could see it in their body language and hear it in their voices. I was not intimidated in the least. If you know my Dad and Stepdad then you would know what I mean.
