first adjustable sights used how early

[USGI]

I watched "Sands of Iwo Jima" on TV this weekend. I don't think I've seen it since I was a kid. I thought I saw Martin Milner, so looked up the cast later. It was him, just didn't know who he was until "Route 66" came along later. It was interesting that the soundtrack was edited to make it "PC" for those that would otherwise complain. - Bob

A long time before most knew him from Route 66 (60-64) and Adam-12 (68-75)

He was 18. Born in 1931

Bit of an educated guess...from looking at so many recruits myself and my own pics back at the beginning.
