Best Moment Court House Bay, Onslow Beach, Being the Flag brearer for the Bn. in every event an public dog and pony show. Secratary of Defence Casper Wineburger came down from DC to inspect the Div prior to deployment to IRAC do to the Barrack Bombing there.
Worst Moment Ordering two drunk Marines to come down of the water tower, and then Disobaying a lawful order. Art-15's and brig time, I was NCIC that eveing. Preparing for Deployment on a Ceribian Float and not having enuff old for the trip. Took six mounths of request from Albany Ga. I could not wait that long had to over came and intravise. So I saw another company with surplus oil just sitting in the Maitance bay not being used so I gave I took from the rich and gave to the poor my platoon on timp loan. There 1st/Sgt found out what I had done and I stood tall before there CO. He asked me why did I take his oil. I responded My Marines were in despertate traits and needed thier extra oil. Also I would return the oil from my own request when it chaugth up with me while deployed and on our return. CO responded! If I were a NCO I would have done the same thing under the sircumstances you supplied you Marines with what they needed most to become deployible. He gave me the oil on loan until our return with no further repermand. Simper Fi
Other Memories See in My 1st/Sgt from my time on the rock retire. I was his best man.
