    The opening credits were filmed at the Grinder(Parade grounds) on MCRD San Diego.
    One of the Guy's I work with was there in boot camp while they filmed this.

    I just asked him about it and it was his series that he marched with and it was June or July of 65
    He said the rest of the show was filmed up north near LA.

    He also mentioned that they got there butt's kicked after the filming because of the laughing in ranks while they marched.
    SEMPER FI
