This is not about my boot camp days, but it is about boot camp at Parris Island in 1965 and 1966.
I believe it was in last week's newsletter where I read a message posted by Col. M.A. Einsidler. He stated that he worked at the receiving barracks as a Pfc in 1967. I can't find his posting again and would like to communicate with him or any other Marines who worked the with receiving barracks crews. I was crew leader of a seven man crew working the night shift at Parris Islands between November 1965 and October 1966. Col. Einsidler's comment is the first I have seen from anyone who worked the receiving barracks.
I noticed in his post that he also worked the night shift. He said from 1900 to 0700, as I recall it, we worked a sixteen hour night shift. I would like for him or anyone else from this era to contact me. If I may post my e-mail here, it is R.Dotson[at]charter.net
I would especially like to hear from any of the crew who worked with me during that time. Viet nam was gearing up at that time and we received an average of about 500 recruits per night in the receiving barrack which was located at the end of the 2nd bat. area in the old two-story wooden barracks.
If anyone is interested, I can post a photo of the day crew and two night crews at the receiving barracks along with our admin staff.
