Friday by Boat
The way I left MCAS Kaneohe in JANUARY 1963 was, I rescued a
tourist surfer in Waikiki. He got hit in the head by another
novice surfer, a blond, who just took off. I pulled his head out
of the water and asked him his name.
No response, outta of it. I put him on his board and toe towed
him to the beach yelling for help.
A life guard came out and we got him to the beach. A cop saw the
number of the board I rented and got my name etc ... (one of the
few times I used my real name renting a board).
I got called to the Gunny's office (a replacement for the pr-ck
Gunny... and a good thing too) the following Monday and was told
the police were filing some sort of charge & the victim was
suing me cause they thought I did the deed.
After explaining the events etc... the Gunny said "Wednesday by
C-54 or Friday by boat?" and that's how I left Hawaii.

This photo brings back memories of 1957. I was assigned to MP & Gd. Bn. MCB Camp Lejeune, NC and our uniforms were quite similar, with the exception of short sleeves, which were not uniform then. I would like to be contacted by anyone in MPs there in ‘57.
