RE: 1st MarDiv to Korea by back channel
Marines had this dandy radio, a TBS [talk between ships] unit we loved to
"find" since it was more powerful that the FM units the army
had.
Gene must be dreaming. Anytime the Army was
nearby, we engaged in what was called "midnite requisition." So much so that
one Army General stated that loved to have the Marines nearby, but he wished
someone would take the damn paint away from them. I can personally attest to
that- I was in possession on a newly painted weapons carrier that we used to
carry all our Comm' gear. ON the other hand, the Army was never stingy with
their food, when we were surviving on C rations, The Army always happily fed
us from their field kitchen-God Bless Army cooks.
