Rufus1,
You be right. Fired Expert in Boot at Camp Matthews, and Expert 3 years later at Montford Point, with my beloved M-14. Gave me a AR-15 to qualify with, returning from my first holiday in SE Asia, and fired Marksman. So, that is stuck on my DD214. Sucks.
Change I remember, was not liking when they phased out the "Battle (Eisenhower) Jacket". Made for one good looking uniform, in its day.
Had a real MC Service number, and got paid in brand new $2 bills.

The biggest change that I remember is that we shifted from fighting the vc, who would attempt to slip away after contact was made, to fighting NVA Regulars who would stand and duke it out with us.
Since then I've always wondered why our country aligns itself with the wimps of a country while the other side always seems to have the hard core troops.
