A Family of Docs
Wanted to just take a moment before I get to damn old and forget to share this.
My grandfather , my father, his brother, my cousin, myself and my son were all Corpsman; all saw combat except thankfuly my son – How my father and his brother managed to survive the WWII island campaign is beyond me , both had serious wounds and came back for more.
Mess Hall Memories
During my time in the Marine Corps,-1948-1950,- mess halls were completely staffed by Marines. PVTs & PFCs all over the halls, pot scrubbers, scullery, servers, garbage detail. etc. Usually 30 days at a time.
NCOs were cooks, meat cutters, etc.
