*September 1985* After the 10-mile force march (rifles and backpacks), being the platoon scribe (3069, 3rd & I, Parris Island), I was tasked with assigning the security watch for the evening. I searched the squadbay to fill my roster. Blood-filled blisters, stress fractures and shin splints affected the entire platoon. I called for volunteers, having the compassion to *NOT* assign recruits who were next in line. I received four recruits to fill the first four hours of the watch. *I did the last four hours of the watch.* THIS IS THE COMMITMENT THE MARINES ARE LOOKING FOR! If you can't complete a five-mile marathon, *do not enlist in the Marine Corps.*
No one brags about a ten mile bootcamp hike, it barely constitutes p.t., all things being equal this is a different time, kids today are different. They deserve credit for bothering above and beyond their spineless peers. Summer of 85 I almost cried that bootcamp was over, it felt like summer camp.
I've been to the Marine store in in Beaufort SC. My Nephew is a marine one in for sure. The minute we walked into that place it's a very unique store and the families who go there are very unique, special people ❤.
They were called Pharmacist Mates back then. I know, I'm a HM2, USN. If I remember correctly, they weren't called Hospital Corpsmen, until after Korea.
They reviewed the photo and saw it was a Marine I think If you can look it up on goggle some where along the lines of Marine misidentified on iconic flag raising

Oscar company!! Ship Jan 17th
How'd it go?
Wasn't there 5 Marines, and 1 Navy Corpsman?
yeah
+Adam Edwards That's what I thought. That's what I was taught in Boot Camp. So that one female Marine was wrong when she was giving that speech
They just changed it. All six are Marines
They can't just change it unless the Navy Corpsman joined the Marine Corps afterwards. That could be the only way it can make sense
