USMC Boot Camp 1967, MCRD San Diego Platoon # 2218, to MCAS El Toro's closing in 17 Minutes.

*PLEASE* IF YOUR IN THIS VIDEO, I VERY MUCH WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. I don't expect the younger generation to watch what I endured in Boot Camp. Why? Well, it is 17 minutes long. Who has time for history? But for those that do and for those who were there, this is for you. I've included pictures from my Boot Camp, like none you have seen, including me. Things were different back then. Vietnam war, no computers, and no cell phones. But us older folks did what we thought was right.
I salute all military personnel past and present for doing all we can to keep our country safe. I am getting a bit worried however. Let's try to get it together and be safe.

Thank you for sharing this. My father was there in 1967 and is seen in this video. John C. Beal (wore glasses). He went directly to Vietnam in 68 with the 27th Marines. Came back with PTSD.
