Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Larry R. Overstreet from Missouri; Augie Verschelden from Illinois and Dallas Lloyd from Coco Beach, Florida.

Best Moment
"Combat Alley" and the Paris Steam Bath! Graduating 1st at FROC in Camp Hansen. Taking karate lessons from Larry at the Stillwell Fieldhouse.
   

Worst Moment
Getting pulled off the plane bound for Viet Nam at Kadena AFB because I was 17 years old, then having to wait until April 66 to get off the island.

Chain of Command
Corporal Fuller was our squad leader.
   

Other Memories
I and Bill Hatcher (a good friend who was the SgtMaj. of the 22nd MEU which we rotated out of the Med. in the early 90's)boarded the USS Taladega (AKA) on 17 March 1966 andd headed to Chu Lai, Vietnam where we made an amphibious landing. Next day back-loaded on to the LST Washoe County and headed to Danang. Enroute we ran into a typhoon - and on the old flat bottom LST it was quite a ride!
