H.John Kohl,
Thanks Devil Dog, I'm actualy a Seabee, have not done too much swabbing. My latest Marine support mission was at Camp Pendleton. I lead a platoon of Seabees there during the 9/11 attacks on our great Nation. We were there in support of construction. We built 2 ISMT's at both area 42 and 51, and rebuilt the pop-up targets course and grenade house at the Mount Mac course at combat town.
My Seabees had an eye opening experience in the tightness of a marine squad and fire team organization, and the small unit leadership ability of a corporal. I hope that they learned something from them.
My stepson did a tour as in a tracks unit there making sergeant in four years. He seperated to attend college. He grads this summer with his BA...not bad for a kid that graduated high school only by the skin of his teeth. The Corps was great for him.
Thanks for your service leather neck.
Senior Chief
Steve Cook
