If I know Marines it was because they were all pressed up against the flight deck door window trying to look in on the crew.

Must have been stationed in Japan and ridden the trains.

They definitely were crowded in there. The specs at Global Security and the Air Force Factsheet say the capacity is 92 ground troops. Possibly a typo. Maybe 101 or just 51, or perhaps it was two sorties.
