My youngest son brought me two books about the Marine Corps
One being Silent Warrior, The Marine Sniper's Story Continues.
The book I have a question is the one below
The name of the book is A Marine Story Not Going Home Alone
By 1st Lt. James J. Kirschke.
When he is describing Camp Maragrita in 1965.
He states that there was quonset huts.
If you were never there, you could take it being true.
But having being a member of Charlie 1st Battalion 5th Marines,
In 1959, I know for fact, that were one story barracks.
He was a member of 3rd Battalion 5th Marines.
Where they housed in quonset huts?
The statement about quonset huts almost turn me off on this book.
But I'll struggle through...
Semper Fidelis
