The Marines Administer Good Medicine

Comments: The Marines Administer Good Medicine

In December, 1947 I was standing at attention as best I could in a newly formed recruit platoon at MCRD San Diego. The Drill Instructor was SSgt Douglas D. Gardner, fully caporizoned with 2 hash marks and the recognition and awards associated with combat in the South Pacific. The several history books I have since read all tell me "he entered into captivity" on Wake Island on 23 December, 1941 and spent the next 44 months as a POW of the Japanese. SSgt Gardner had in abundance what I later learned to be called "command lpresence". In any circumstance, social, civil or brutal, you appreciated being on his side. I didn't have much going for me and worse, didn't even realize my several limitations. Sgt Gardner said "Hall, you are uneducated, undisciplined and unmotivated and we have a place for guys like you". This for me was my first dose of Marine Corps medicine and in time I came to understand, appreciate and recommend it. For the next 5 years my place was to pick up trash and march with an M-1 rifle, the best medicine anyone ever took. Tlhe Marine Corps demands that all Marines learn to fire a rifle. At that time it was the US Rifle cal. 30 M-1. In boot camp I sincerely wanted to qualify as an Expert Rifleman but the best I could come up with was Marksman, that is barely qualified. Once a year we all had to requalify with our rifles, "snapping in" for 8 hours each day for 2 weeks. This was all prior to being allowed to fire a single round on the range. The second year I managed to make Sharpshooter, still being unable to qualify as Expert. During the summer of 1950, my 3rd year in the Corps it came to once again requalify. After completing the 2 weeks of snapping in we went back to the range to fire for record. As we started off with slow fire prone position on the 500 yard line Gunny (Tech Sgt) Roy Kastner was running the range and watching the butts with his binoculars. Gunny Kastner was cut out of the same good cloth as was SSgt Gardner, that is he also had all the attributes expected of the best of the Marines. I remember he also the grandest handlebar mustache possible, about 8 inches wide. Gunny joined the Marines about 1938 and served in the South Pacific.

After finishing on the 500 and 300 yard lines and preparing to fire the last rounds of rapid fire prone I had been mentally keeping score and I knew that if I got 'em all in the black I had become an Expert Rifleman, which was an automnatic $5 a month raise in pay. After the final firing I felt pretty good as the targets were lowered in the butts for marking. When the targets were raised for scoring, I had indeed put them all in the black. Gunny Kastner, standing alongside me said "Nice shooting Hall". I have never forgotten the "attaboy", the only one I received in 5 years in the Marines. Thanks Gunny, the Marines are not known for effusive outpourings. Another dollop of the good medicine.

Just a few days later we were on our way to Korea, where I was given the good job as ammo carrier in W-3-1, 1st Mar. Div. The 1st Marines were commanded by Chesty Puller, the 5th Marines by Raymond Murray and Col. Homer Litzenberger had the 7th Marines.

LTGEN Raymond Murray passed away on Veterans Day, 11 November, of this year 2004. In his obituary it was said he wanted to be a teacher, having graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in English. He was one of the very best. I was privileged to be among those in the Hagaru perimeter during the 1st week of Dec., 1950 when Col. Murray led his 5th Marines into our lines, marching in step, in formation, in 40 below zero weather, in the middle of the night.

After Korea, I went to the 6th Marines of the 2nd Marine Division and finished out my time. In the 6th Marines there was a Navy Full LT Chaplain, whose name I regret to say has become lost. I remember this good officer because at every service he concluded with prophetic, memorable quote from the work of Alexis de Tocqueville in the 1830's: "America is great because America is good and should America ever cease to be good America will cease to be great". I am aware that many scholars have denied he wrote this. I have read several of the editions, versions and translations of the original French "Democracy in America" and that conclusion is to be found in the original unabridged edition of the Author.

Epilog.

Sometime in 1958 while attending the University of Texas I began experiencing troubling headaches while studying. I had an eye examination and learned I had astigmatism and other eye weaknesses. When I put on my first pair of glasses at age 27 I was astounded. I then understood why I could not hit a baseball and why I had such trouble in target shooting. I had been swinging the bat and pointing a rifle where the ball and target was not. So the intensive training on the rifle ranges, the snapping in and zeroing of the weapon resulted in compensating for unknown and unrecognized eye defects, just as discipline corrects and compensates for other human traits and failings. An integral part of discipline in any circumstance is to always look around and be aware of what's going on in your area. In simplest and crudest terms, never leave your rear end sticking out.

It is my belief that the good medicine of the Marine Corps has derived from the origins of our Country in 1620 by the declarations written in the Mayflower Compact by those 40 odd Pilgrim Fathers, before they stepped off the boat, wherein they declared America would be founded as a Christian Nation.

The Marine Corps medicine consists of wisdom, discipline and intense training. I recommend it.

I am thankful for my Marine Corps experiences. It was time well spent.

Remembering Chesty Puller

Comments: After having lived long enough to wake up, I'm thankful I knew you, Col (Gen) Puller. Of the many honors and benefits of having served in the Marine Corps was, as I prefer to phrase it "having worked for" then Col. Chesty Puller in W-3-1 from August, 1950 to Sept., 1951, in Korea. Regretfully only years later did I begin to fully realize what a great leader of men he was. He was not one of the "perfumed princes" operating remotely from the rear as described by David Hackworth in his books. However I have evidence here to tell you he must have been one of those leaders Col. T. R. Fehrenback describes in his book "This Kind of War", one who "had the courage to make the hard decisions to make the troops always do the difficult yet correct thing". The long list of 5 Navy Crosses awarded Col. Puller should have been at least6 awards from considering the following example I witnessed during Sept., 1950. The time frame was during the 1st Marine Regiment advance from Inchon and prior to taking Seoul (1st time), in 1950. When I say I worked for Col. Puller, I was an ammunition carrier in W-3-1 (a pack mule actually), and now a days am thankful for the experience. Any way we moved out early one Sept. morning advancing toward Seoul and began to take some small arms fire. Instantly the whole front line took cover, we were in a potato field at the time and a road was about 10 yards to my left, with a line of vehicles and a tank at the front of the column. Everything stopped, including the tank, engines idling. I was safely prone behind some cover in the potato field, feeling secure as I watched the rounds spatter off the road and sides of the tank when I noticed an individual walking forward at a brisk 120, wondering who the poor soul was, a new replacement, some 2nd Lt, or who, steadily coming forward from about 500 yards to the rear. As he got closer I suddenly noted sunlight reflecting off his insignia. As he kept coming forward, rounds were spattering off the road and vehicles and he appeared not to notice, looking grimly straight ahead. As he passed directly by me about 10 yards away, I saw he was a full Colonel, Col. L. B. Puller, his self. He stopped at the rear of the tank, which had a telephone mounted above the right track, and jerked up the phone. I couldn't hear what he said but I remember instantly the tank belched out black exhaust smoke and dug out forward. And likewise, we all, (the 1st Mar Reg't) were moving forward. Yes, I'm indeed thankful I knew you, Col. Puller.

Reply to message #2518 (Barnes)

Comments: Ladies & Gentlemen: I still have vivid recollections of Cpl (I believe) Barnes, whom I saw killed on the beach the day of the landing. I should say up front my memory of him was that he displayed the highest qualities of discipline,dedication and devotion, and yet I was in his presence only about a total of 5 minutes of our lives. I recall it this way: We (G-3-1 and W-3-1) rode over from Kobe, Japan to the beaches at Inchon, on an LST given to the Japanese, (it was sailed by a Japanese crew); the Japanese in turn loaned it back to us for the landing. As we entered the landing area the Corsairs and Naval Gunfire were doing their good work, this about 1500 hours, 9-15-50. We were finishing loading up in the LVT's in the tank deck of the LST, and the diesel smoke was something else. Just before I climbed into the LVT I made a last stop in the head. Inside, working by himself was Cpl Barnes, ensuring the facility was left in good order, and as we made brief eye contact I thought "Barnes, I should be doing this for you.", I consider this to be one of the more responsible acts of my unworthy lifetime. Just a very short time later, as we climbed out of the tractors, I saw Barnes, about 50 yards ahead of us on the beach, standing up fully exposed, cutting the barbed wire, for the rest of us. At that instant, he was shot and killed, 50 yards onto the beach, in the first hour of the first day of the invasion. I am thankful I briefly knew him and hope somehow he has passed along to posterity some of his good genes. Kindest regards, Gary Hall PFC 633178

Webster-Nash matter, Korea, 1950

Comments: Ladies & Gentlemen: Am requesting any information, input, about the following event: During Dec 1950 I was attached to G-3-1 in Korea. G-3-1 had a sector of the perimeter on the north side of Hagaru, just south of the Chosin Res. After the 5th & 7th Marines had advanced into our lines, we advanced 9 miles down the hill and shortly thereafter G-3-1 was given the assignment to take some high ground just south leaving Koto-ri. We moved out and took the hill and as we were preparing to get set up for the night in subzero weather and 2-3 feet of snow on frozen ground, we noted some abandoned positions and moved in. I was in a hole about 30 yards from Given Webster's and Marine Nash's light 30. Web was the gunner and Nash was his assistant. I went up the hill with them and was never more than 30 yards away from them, at all times. During the night it was snowing, about midnight Web began firing and continued off and on most of the night. In my sector, I never saw anything and never fired a shot. John Collier had his 60 mortars set up behind and between Web and myself. At daybreak the firing had stopped and I went over to Web's position and I was much surprised at noting 30-50 enemy dead right in front of Web's gun. We talked a minute, Nash had been killed, the only casualty. Sometime that afternoon, we saddled up and moved out, advancing to the sea. Would appreciate any first hand comments about any of this. (Webster has never been given any recognition for this most memorable event, and I didn't know this for over 50 years, then quite accidentally). Would much appreciate any help in straightening this out. Kindest regards, Gary Hall PFC W-3-1 (1st Mar Div) North Korea, 1950-1951.

Did you know my big brother

Comments: My brother, PFC Marvin H. Jolliff, was KIA three days before the ceasefire...July 25, 1953. He was a machine gunner with G company, 3-1-1 near or in Ponbudong. Understand his position was over-run by enemy troops before his body was recovered, because my family received very little of Marvin's personal effects. One of the few items received was a blood-stained pocket knife.

Would like to hear from anyone about Marvin. Also would like to know more about the Ponbudong area and any info or circumstances surrounding or pertaining to his death.

I met him after he was discharged,and married him in 1956. His family always said he was different after he came home. He won't say any thing about the Marines except they were a fighting unit,and " I don't want to talk about it" He has always been a moody person and quick tempered, I just wonder if something happened ?
