Roger 'LDOCapt', you are probably more correct than I was about no Marine Corps 5-Star...

We ought to do something about that..............!!!!!

:beer: :beer: :nerd:

Also I believe that Omar Bradley was the last '5-Star' created, roughly at the time of the Korean War, when he was Army Chief-Of-Staff...

:beer: :beer: :p

Also, the '5-Stars' were considered on 'Active Duty' until they died, for instance Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz lived in government housing on Yerba Buena Island, in San Francisco Bay, adjacent to...

Add to that list "Bull" Halsey (Navy) and "Hap" Arnold (USAAF)....

In addition to the Cattle-Car trip, all we took with us from Boot Camp was our original 'Sea-Bag'...
