Popular Post Big Biscuit Posted May 25 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 25 I was cleaning out my desk and came across my dad's Marine Corps recruit photo. God how I miss this man. I would love nothing more than to have one more conversation with him. I love this photo of a full of piss and vinegar Marine recruit before heading off to Korea. I always loved listening his stories of his time at boot camp. Miss you pops. slicedcornbread, F150Fish, Nite_Bite_00 and 35 others 27 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo from that era into the sixties and maybe a little later, everyone had a cigarette in their hands slicedcornbread and Big Biscuit 2 If you are ugly you are ugly.

Shaky Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Couple of my dad, WWII era. Forgot about these, weren't the ones I was looking for. Brother may have them or there buried somewhere. He had a few stories about boot camp, the one I remember was about the time he went AWOL. When he was a little kid he had a few ear operations which left him without an eardrum in his right ear. He never went swimming with us because he couldn't risk getting water in that ear. While he was in camp he ended up with an ear infection. The army doctors would irrigate the ear only making things worse and sending the infection deeper. The old man was stubborn and could tolerate a fair amount of pain, but this sent him over the edge and he ended up traveling to NY to see his ear doctor. Compared to today medicine was in the dark ages, but his ear guy who was one of the top ENTs at the time would treat him with sulfa drugs.I think they blew it into the ear. Doctor wrote a note to the CO explaining the situation. Dad gets called in to see the CO and he says I hear you were AWOL. Dad explains the situation and gives him the note. Small world, turns out his CO Or the head medical officer went to school (Med?) with my father's doctor, calls him on the phone and catches up, doc gets him up to speed on the use of sulfa drugs. Dad ended up with a medical discharge. I think he was in the airborne division, he had some patches and he shouldn't have been jumping out of plane with that ear problem Terry Mac, harley48, slicedcornbread and 7 others 7 3 If you are ugly you are ugly.

richie c Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Great pics! My sister took my dads WWII pics to a shop in Freehold to make copies for all of us kids. The owner took the pics along with the deposit $ and closed up shop. His name was Garth and if I ever run into him god help him. They were pictures from his 1st company command after OCS at Ft Monmouth 6/41 and one of him passing the parade stand returning Gen. Mark Clarks salute after taking Anzio. Later that day Gen Clark pinned a Silver Star and Purple Heart on dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
