I was out in Jacksonville with men from my platoon, and we were on secondary air alert. I remember I was sitting at Tino’s (where the food was bad, but the street walkers could not accost you because the cops ate there) when vans and MPs showed up to cart us back to base.

One of Sixth Marine Regiment’s battalions was sent over and we became the primary Air Alert battalion.
