I was actually down there myself in the 1980s; it would have stood out in my mind.
After the Ribbon Creek incident, the MC was ALL OVER the supervision of the drill instructors; it is almost unthinkable that any drill instructor would have had the leeway to train or discipline his troops the way SSGT McKeon did in 1956.

Okay. I was watching the local news out of Philly. Maybe it was in the early 1990s or so. Perhaps a Marine died during training and the news alluded to the story from 1956. When I read this news story headline this other story about the Marines dying during training popped in my head.
