USMC, 1954 to 57. Camp Pendleton after MCRD San Diego. Worked in the Test and Experimental Unit, Schools Regiment, Camp Delmar, Oceanside. Took part in testing a development of the P5 Series Amphibious Tractor, with high surf testing in Monterey/Seaside and San Clemente Island. Our Colonel had a girl friend Carmel and when her husband (Navy) was at sea, Monterey would suddenly develop high surf and we could go there for a couple of weeks to run our tractor through the surf. We all wanted the Husband in law to put int Hawaii for a transfer so we could test in the Hawaiian surf, but it didn't happen during my enlistment.
