APA 38—USS Chilton

Search our 1000+ USMC stories.

Made a Med Cruise with K-3-2-2 on the Chilton in 61-62. It was an old tub but the Captain made sure ALL Marines worked and the CPO sent me to the barber shop. Never cut hair before that day and the swabbys on that ship hated me with a passion because they all looked liked jarheads. The CPO in charge gave me two extra days of liberty for doing a "great job" L/Cpl. T.R. Pemberton
