We were both on 007 APC .We argued what seems like everyday .We both used to go through the C-rations to get the best C's . Courtney would tell me all kinds of stories of where he lived in California , I only believed some of the them. But then again I would tell him a few stories too , I'm sure he didn't believe me either.  One thing I will always remember that he said to me ( even though we did argue alot )was that he would always look out for me cause I was the "Doc".
I will always remember him .
