my DI told us the story of him abandoning the 1st Marine Division on Guadalcanal without a good chunk of their supply.
Was your DI there or was this just a story..........
How about sharing the story?

No...I am not that old...lol. Boots are schooled in USMC history at Parris
Island and San Diego. That day's lesson had covered WWII which
included the Solomon campaign. My DI just put his spin on Fletcher's
actions at Guadalcanal in a way only Marine DI's can.
