Keywords: I enlisted directly into VMF-251, as a USMC Reservist, at NAS Grosse Ile, MI on 13 Aug 1949. Aviation Ordnance was my MOS. On 1 Mar 51 the squadron was activated (Korean War) and redesignated VMA-251. On 21 Apr 51 we left our F6F Hellcats behind and deployed to MCAS El Toro where our pilots took over a fleet of F4U Corsairs. We still had those birds at the time I left the squadron on 10 Aug 52, contrary to the "official" intel re. the history of VMA-251.
