comments:  
It has been a long, long time but I would enjoy hearing from my Marine
"boots" all of whom survived "the asylum on the Island". 88 started out
and 67 graduated; in addition, we all went to CamPen for close combat
training w/ T & R Command, then onto Battalion FMF schools at Delmar.

From there most of PLtn #288 embarked for replacements to the 1st Marine
Division FMF in Korea. It took the USNS Gen. Miegs 21 days to get us to
Pusan, Korea. 

Remember that dirty bucket the Miegs??  12th replacement draft was put 
on to "cattle trucks" thru that foul, smelly port city. Enroute to tent
city saw filthy Koreans urinating & defecating in front of their 
cardboard hovels. Days later we were assigned to our various MOS and I 
went to "A" Co. 1st Tank Bn with 4 others from #288. 

With our hands full in that combat tour lost track of #288 boots. If 
any of you are on the web, please feel free to say hello again.

Most went with the 1st Mar Div to Inchon.  Most were only 18 years old. 
Some were younger.  Most made Chosin Reservoir. Please answer.  

If you know a Marine who is now 65 or older and from east of the
