I was a 'quick teach' back in July of 1966....that's why I got my ass OUT of the Marine Corps as soon as my two years active was up (Damned leap year!!)summer of 1968.

Back then, they had a re-enlistment rate of zero, other than the lifers who had too much time invested to forego their going on the tit after 20.

I kid you not - my last six months was in the 'company office', and because I was semi-literate, I spent most of my time writing resumes for the old Gunnys and E-9's who wanted to apply for jobs as school bus drivers in Oceanside. WTF.

That's pitiful.

Thank you for your service, no matter what!
