In 1954, at Parris Island, our DI's were ordered to take their Plt's to the outdoor theater to see " The Sands of Iwo Jima" to celebrate the Marine Corps birthday on Nov 10th. As dark fell, our Di fell us out with our scrub buckets, and marched us to the theater. As he marched us in, he proceeded to the front, which we assumed was because it was the best view. Unfortunatly, he kept going until we were behind the screen, where he formed us up, sitting on our buckets.We "watched" the whole movie from behind the screen.

We saw the "Sands of Iwo Jima" when I was in boot camp in 1982...
we were allowed to watch it from the front, tho.
Can you just imagine how many times that movie has been shown?
