Dix, NJ an Infantry AIT training company. This experiment gone bad is the reason that since combat units are made up of various experienced personnel, not ALL newbies. Then I served my time in RVN, seeing the wisdom of phased in/out with most troops experienced and it was clear to me that the experiment was a killer from inception. Example, the freshmen against the seniors winner take all. Excellent writing!
