A SIXTH DIVISION, THE MARINES M M -fy ,'W5,f:fJ 5 p 1 rvfessor Koske M VVIA I-W H l in fellow Marmes www ...V -W .. e P reservoir WSALLY and Sue, don't be blueg we're shoving right off- . Yeah-shoving right off again, this time for a cruise with Task Force 77 off that miserable chunk of landscape, Korea. At the start of this cruise, Captain Wall's boys were pretty well checked out on the sea duty routine. Before leaving Norfolk, we annexed a new top kick, MSgt. Henry R. Seidenburg, who soon demons strated his ability to direct the efforts of his gang of gyrenes into those channels approved by the Marine Corps. ,lust before leaving Balboa we discovered three would-be volunteers from the local Marine Barracks. Seems their CO wasn't in sympathy with their ideas so they didn't make the trip. While cru-ising off the Korean coast, we were constantly in Condition III-Ah, how nice. Colder than - the proverbial well-digger in the far flung wasteland of the frigid North. When we weren't on watch, Staff Sergeant ROSKO ran a local institution of learning. The curriculum being 'IWhat Every Young Marine Should Know. A glimpse at the cut shows Herr Professor Knocking some Knowledge about the Browning Automatic RiHe into our uknuckle haidsn. On replenishment days the hangar deck rang with cries of Gung Ho, or, 64Watch where the hell you're throwing that box. We sure had a bangup time unboxing rockets, heaving boxes over the side, and rolling bombs about. Lieutenant Elliott got quite a charge out of our Conga line with the boxes of bomb fuses. Haw! He didn't get the bang out of it that he could have. Our characters are much the same. Stall' Sergeant McCarthy still holds sway as gunny and morale booster. His words of wisdom would be banned in Boston but we still love 'em. Pappy Schuetz still looks after the boys but was quite shaken up when one of the lads informed him that the American girls didn't have enough slant in their eyes. The rest of the gang holds sway, each in his own inimitable way. SIXTH DIVISION I if I I I
