Would appreciate any info re: PLT 382 grads. I was the Short Round/Feather Merchant. Last man, last squad. One of the DIs was Armijo (spelling?) Most of us went to 3RD MarDiv, HdQTRs BN, Gifu, after ITR @ Pendelton with a side trip to Pickel Meadows to play in the snow. The only thing I remember about that jaunt was that if you kill a polar bear, don't eat his liver.It was 21 days to Japan through a typhon on an APA. Seasick every mile. I went to the Wire Plt, Comm Co. Plt GnySgt was Merrick. As usual I was the Feather Merchant again. After Gifu 3RDDiv Hdqtrs went to Okinawa after a stay at an old Japanese seaplane base just outside of Yokosuka. On Oki we were the first outfit into an old SeaBees camp since WW2. Lots of fun.
Good luck to all you Marines.
