Parris Island then Lejune for ITR. Memphis for school, made high Marine in my class, and got to choose my billet....2yrs in Hawaii. Shipped out on the USS Breckinridge for Hawaii. Docked in Pearl and caught duty section aboard the ship. Spent 26 hrs in Hawaii out of a 2yr assignment and never left the ship! My assigned outfit got shipped out to Okinawa. Went to Oki then on to Japan and from there two tours in Nam (Chu Lai and Ky Ha). Flew the door in UH-34D's. Was not a Marine sniper, but was a police sniper.
