As posted, I was a recruit at Parris Island from 1 July, 1971 until mid-late September... I was a member of Platoon 163, Senior Drill Instructor was SSgt Smith and one of his Assistant Drill Instructors was Sgt Mehl...and another Sgt I cannot for the life of me remember...If you were a member of this platoon, please contact me...If you know where I can locate a Platoon Book/Platoon Photo...I'll buy the beer!!
I have already tried Recruit Photo on Parris Island...they informed me that negatives for Platoon Photos from the years of 1971/72/73 were lost in one of the "change-of-vendors" over the years... :confused: Gotta love those civilian contractors...:thumbdown: I know they ain't all bad, but losing all those negatives? Damn!!!
I have been searching eBay, doing searches on the Internet, have contacted the Museum on Parris Island, but if you can think of places to look that I've not mentioned here, let me know...
Thanks, and Semper Fi!!!
