Mos 5591

[sgt-andy]

Are there any other 5591s still breathing?

Is that MOS someone who joined in 1954 and is still in service? I would venture to say there are not too many of that MOS around.

I was a 5591 Field Music/ Bugler assigned to III MAF Drum and Bugle Corps at I Corps Hq. in Danang. Lew Walt liked Drum Corps. My secondary MOS was bunker builder. This was '66- '68 and not Spanish American War era. Stateside, I played Taps over scores of Marine KIAs. That was rough. '' The Commandant's Own'' at 8th & I in Washington is the only Marine D and B left. Buglers are now Old Corps relics and kind of hard to find.
