I could see SSG Folsom out of my peripheral vision. He was speed-walking my way. All of a sudden, he was standing in front of me. He towered over me like a vicious slave owner who had just found out that his slave was sleeping with his pure white son. The whiteness in his face was frightening. Immediately, he started kicking me. His true intent was being revealed. He no longer had control. All the hatred I’d felt from him all these weeks was now being displayed for all to see. He continued to kick me as I lay in shock, unable to move. He had on boots and right on my shin he kicked, again and again and again. The excruciating pain shot through my body as I screamed for him to stop. The roar from the megaphone covered the screech of my voice as I again screamed for him to stop. I braced myself and waited for the next kick; I was about to plunge my foot forward so hard, surely I would have seen his testicles come out through his mouth. “What you are doing, what are you doing?” I heard from behind him. Several of the drill sergeants came up from behind him; one grabbed him around his waist and pulled him away from me. Shocked and totally at awe, I lay there. The anguish and disgust flooded from my eyes. People were helping me up, asking me questions, but I could not respond. Was this for real? What just happened? The assault lasted only seconds but it seemed much longer. The next thing I remember is seeing that devil casually walking toward the building, which only minutes earlier had just brought me so much joy. He had to retreat to his office so he could enjoy the pleasure he got from kicking me when I was down. I was mad enough to kill. When I finally got up, I went straight into the building behind him. The entire time I was thinking I was about to get myself in trouble. But I couldn’t make my feet stop moving. When I got upstairs, I saw a male and female drill sergeant talking. “Drill Sergeants, will you please come with me?” I asked. Surely they could see my anger as the tears flowed freely down my face. “What’s wrong, what happened?” they asked, as I walked steadily toward the classroom. They followed quickly and without hesitation. I walked straight into SSG Folsom’s office to find him sitting there looking like a snake in the grass. “Don’t you ever, as long as you live, make contact with me again!” I said. “You almost made me ruin my career out there, but I will take this to the highest authority and make sure you lose yours. Just stay away from me!”
