varasanjacinto Report post Posted April 7, 2012 I am a Marine Corps Veteran who served on active duty from 1956-1959 and in the active reserves from 1960-1964 when I tried to reenlist to OCS (after college) but was not allowed to because we had two children at the time. After Parris Island and Infantry Training, I was transferred to a Force Recon Company and served as a scout swimmer (mos 0343) for a couple of years,until I transferred out for desk duty when my wife joined me in North Carolina after our marriage.... Recon was an exciting company for a kid of eighteen....all the stuff you see on the comercials...the rubber (nylon rafts....called LCNS or Landing Craft Nylon) Black faces, with cammies and sneakers on....We had a jump platoon, people who had gone to survival school in Panama....and a great deal of pride..... I am proud of my service time and say Semper Fi to all those who have served our country..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andyshane Report post Posted April 14, 2012 Hello again, SeaJay. I hope you're doing okay, know it has been a difficult year. Here's your info. Captain Norris D. "Andy" Shane, USAF 1978-1988 Instructor Pilot, KC-135A 7AREFS, Carswell AFB, Texas Eldorado Canyon, 1986 (Small potatoes compared to TSgt Norris D. Shane, 1927-2007, 1943-1946 US Navy; 1947-1977 US Air Force, Normandy, 1944. His plaque is on the wall among thousands of veterans' at The National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg. My beloved Uncle Dave thought it was a big deal, me going to pilot training, flying; despite his persistent habit of getting busted in rank, I'd consider his career the stellar one. Still healthy and robust at 81, the undisputed heart throb of his retirement complex, he was unexpectedly felled by a heart attack.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
