Les,
On June 25, 1950 I was called back for the Korean fiasco.
Upon reporting in at the Chicago Clark street headquarters I was greeted by a buck private with 6 hash marks on his sleeve.
While he was making out my traveling orders a PFC with 5 hash marks walked up to say hello to his buddy with the 6 marks.
His buddy looked him over and remarked, "You ear banging son-of-a-*****!"
I laughed all the way to Camp LeJeune. Bill
