"a True Scouting Story"

Consultant10,000+ posts

This is a basketball story. Many years ago after a 3,000 miles drive from Aberdeen, MD, to the WSPG located in the desert of New Mexico. It is the largest land base in the US Army. As a "raw" 2nd LT [ROTC]

I ask the Company Commander "where is the basketball court"?

He said no officers play. WHY? It is a metal Quonset Hut and you will be intentionally "fouled".

During the games I noticed a 6'4" player in combat books "dunk" the ball. His name was Sam Jones a future Boston Celtic, NBA Hall of Fame and my friend for life.

"When you play sports remember someone is watching" "Do not be lazy, study and learn the game".

PS: during my 21 months at WSPG our baseball and basketball teams won two 4th Army Championships
