Best Moment Marching in Regimental Review at graduation and observing the precise manner of the drill performed by the entire Regiment. It was the largest formation in which I participated in my youth, and my mind's eye still recalls it with great wonder, it was enough to make all Marines proud and our enemies shake in their boots.
Worst Moment Mustering for Officers and NCOs selecting Marines for duty at Marine Barracks, Military District of Washington, DC (8th & Eye)and not being selected.
Chain of Command Marines were ordered to ITR upon successful completion of Basic Training at Parris Island. Unable to recall Chain of Command, except original orders show FIRST INFANTRY TRAINING REGIMENT, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC. USMC Muster Records reflect Company L, 2nd BN, Ist ITR.
Other Memories Joni James was the Marine Corps Sweetheart. She is still one of my favorite vocalist. The outdoor theatre featured her lovely voice each evening movies were shown there.
