I am one who does not have their plt number in my profile, I know that some of you don`t understand how anyone could forget their plt number but I did.
I went to PI on 19 may 1954 and got out of boot on 6 aug 1954, my senior DI was sgt Flynn and thats is all I remember. I forgot to add that I was in 2ed bn on 2ed deck of the old wooden barracks.

I've been trying to help a WWII Guadalcanal vet build an shadowbox and history for his grandkids. He too can't remember what platoon in PI he was with. The man has everything else including some pretty bad ass pic's of him but he does remember his Drill Instructors. He remembers he lived in tents. Those old wooden barracks were still in use for 2nd Bltn in '71 and I guess up until '75, that isn't going to help you.

1987 in the friggin heat of major "black flag" days...
3049 I Co...
Third Herd...Third Battalion..by far the toughest one to make it through due to weekly PT on the confidence course and absent leering eyes of Officer brass and Tops to look out for us recruits.
wouldn't have traded it for any other group.

Jan 1968 Parris Island......3rd Battalion....Disneyland as some have called it however Mickey Mouse wasn't there just a house mouse...Platoon 310 left PI in March 1968 and eventually worked my way to Nam in August of 68 and served with 3rd Tank Battalion 3rd MarDiv until Sept 69 then to Beaufort SC 2nd MAW to finish out my 2 years. I will never regret my time but wish to Hell I would have better note of all the guy's I met in Boot,Nam and elsewhere while in the crotch (Marines). It would be kind of a good feeling to touch base with them.....................all I can remember is faces and not names................That is my biggest regret and sometimes when I think about it ................it is frustrating.............

I remember one Very Hot day in July, it was too hot to drill out on the grinder becuse they put out "Red Flags" as an indicator for D.I.'s, So "Terrible Tylor" marched us down to the quansit huts we used to live in and packed all 65 of us into one hut and closed the windows. He had us stack two foot lockers on top one another and place his chair on the top one. He then climbed up into the chair and called out out repititions as he made us P.T. inside with 125 degree heat as he sat there with a 40 oz. glass of coke over ice and a fan blowing on him. after two hours and six men passing out, We all prayed that the heat never again interupt our drill day's on the grinder.
