Thank you for the ships, the chow, the really big guns, and most of all for the Corpsmen.

..........you left out Postal Clerk’s. I brought (well, me and my shipmates) tens of thousands of jarheads their mail for 2 years in Sasebo, Japan between 1969 and 1971.
Mostly this was to the Marine Barracks/Sasebo but also ships coming in and out of Sasebo.
I particularly remember hauling semi’s full of mail to the Coral Sea, Constellation and Ranger. All 3 were in and out constantly.
