17-2-10 Garand Picture of the Day - Marine Raider

[BEAR]

When I was at Coronado I got a bald spot rubbed into the back of my head from carrying the inflatables back and forth to the beach. Normally carried on the shoulder most of the guys in my crew were taller than me, so my head fit under the boat while we carried it. All that sand grinding into my skull and I still have the bald spot.

carrying the inflatables back and forth to the beach.

Thanks, another thing I'd forgotten about until now. Carried them all the way down the the area they filmed "Sands of Iwo Jima"... Specifically the night scene where John offers to shoot the marine if he goes forward of their lines... During the scene cutting back and forth, you see ocean behind both men.
