During the fifties and into the sixties, there was compulsory military service ( the draft). To avoid being drafted there were many variations of enlistments. One such form was joining the reserve of the bracnch of your choice ( including the Marines) and serving for two years active duty and then four years active reserves (attending monthly meetings).

Right, evidently after his two years active duty in the Marines, he went to school, became a cardio-respiratory tech, went into the Navy and served at Bethesda; was serving when LBJ had heart surgery, and got 3 presidential commendations.

I was just wondering, since the B. Rocko campaign mentions “Marine” so much when talking about Wright, what and where his Marine service was.
