Robert G. White, 1953-1955 USMC

Comments: My father was sworn into the Corps on the steps of the courthouse in St. Louis MO. February 1953.

Bootcamp at Pendelton, Sea School at San Diego, then assigned to USS Toledo.

1955 was transferred to Chicago/Great Lakes for discharge in February 1956.

Passed away August 1995. When I was a child, people would ask me if my father was ever in the service. After I replied yes, they would tell me "I thought so - he carries himself like a U.S. Marine."

And that he was.
