So I was fairly hung over this morning, and I watched a movie from 1940 called "March on Marines".
The plot and acting sucked raw ass, but it was very interesting because it was filmed mostly at MCRDSD . The grinder scenes were very interesting, little had changed there except the now H-style barracks.
Also interesting was how poor the equipment was. Not just springfield rifles, but crappy baby arty pieces, cheap and cruddy trucks, WWI helmets, and hardly any machine guns.
The Corps wasn't really ready for a war in 1940, at least from what I saw in a movie where the Marines seemed to have gone all out to show off.
