Right, a dam reservist I was after schools. However I served with some of the best comrades I've ever known.
The following ranks will likely be obsolete;
Col. Okerman
Maj. Minor
CWO4 'Gunner' Gordon
GySgt. LaBonte - believe to have passed
SSgt. Marvin Steele
Cpl. McFarland
Cpl Gregg
Cpl. McEldoon
others will come to me later but if anyone knows this unit or the men that were a part of it please let me know. Thanks and a lift of the lynch lid.
Sgt. Gus 'Guppy'

I was a member of WES-47 Det B at Whidbey - 1984-1989 (?) - did Northern Wedding/Bold Guard in Norway in 1987 - I later went on Recruiting Duty and got McEldoon on as well (he was my Platoon Sgt when I was switched from Bulk Fuel to Motor T)- he came on after Desert Shield/Storm - I know he worked in Everett and got hurt on Recruiting duty - If I am not mistaken he was medically retired as a Gunny - I haven't talked to him in many a year
I of course remember Gunner Gordon - Clayton as well - Major Minor yes...

When I was short, much to to my shame, on one occasion meeting Gunner Clayton between a couple of buildings at K-Bay on Oahu I failed to slalute and greet him. Now that I'm much older than the kid I was then I wish I could revisit that situation and correct it as these days I hold all Marines and vets in very high regard.
I was Sgt "Guppy" Gustafsson of the Motor T section.
