MCS Quantico

Beginnings     1st Marine Division      Marine Corps League

I took a couple of increments of PLC's and NROTC Midshipmen through the Summer OCS Program at Marine Corps Schools (MCS) Quantico in 1959. I'm the "Buck" Sergeant on the right, up front.  Note: Officers and Staff NCOs carried swagger sticks. Check out the sweat soaked uniforms on the PLC class photo on the left.  If you see yourself, give me a shout. Anyone help name the Officer in the PLC Platoon? Semper Fi!

These were taken when I was stationed at MCS Quantico. (Left) Standing tall at the Iwo Jima Memorial in Wash. D.C. in 1960. Me and my buddy, Vance, were pulling a little "Dress Blues" liberty. I'm on the left. Look at the rake in those covers. (Right) Taken at the Marine Corps Birthday Ball, 10 November 1960. Medal on right is Leatherneck Award for shooting 239 with the M-1 Rifle.
