Tour With the United States Marines

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference, and our Marines don't have that problem." - President Ronald Reagan, 1985 ------- There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion. Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army

Boiler Watch North Camp Fuji, Japan



This is a picture of Kershaw from Liberty, Texas. He was on Boiler Watch. We had a coal fired boiler and someone had to keep it fired to heat our water. This was not one of the best jobs in the Marines. You are covered with coal dust that gets into the pores of your skin. It was hard to keep clean.
