Parris Island ,1958 Platoon 2020. I am looking for information relating to those days.

[platoon2020]

How old would you guess Sgt Graves to be at that time. We had a Sgt Graves for Platoon2020 in 1958...He loved to drink cough medicine for the codene while instructing.

'course it was a Navy doctor!
When SSGT Jim Nelson refused to get a job, his father insisted he join the Marines. At the induction physical, the doctor directed the reluctant recruit to read the eye chart across the room.
"What chart?" the young man asked.
"The one on the wall!" The doctor said.
"What wall?"
Sensing he had a deadbeat on his hands, the doctor asked his beautiful nurse to walk in naked.
"What do you see now?"



"Nothing."
"Well, you may not see anything," the doctor said, "but your 'indicator' is pointing toward MCRD San Diego!
Welcome to the Marine Corps, son."

Man I'm beginning to think I'm the only one who graduated from MCRD SD in Feb 75. I was hoping I might find some like minded Marines. Would be nice to connect after all these years.

[JCGRUNT]

Grew up in the swamps and marshes of East Central Florida so PI was like home away from home. DI's were Sgt. Potes, Sgt. Frazier and Sgt. Robles. Not a day rolls by I don't think of at least one of these fine gentleman. Each had his own unique quality and way of getting the point across that almost made you think they cared. Truly born to their profession. Grateful to this day for the privelege of having those 3 individuals indoctrinate 3088 into a lifelong commitment, being a United States Marine.
