A. Switzer, USMC, Wa* recently
proclaimed the world’s “fastest
man,” unofficially, when he out
pased a six-foot bear in a pre
dawn encounter.
Switzer, on guard duty, was
armed only with a night stick,
when the bear tried to crawl
through the window of the guard
shack. The Leatherneck ducked
for the door and headed for the
nearest shelter which was the sta
tion heating plant. He sprinted
over the threshold of the plant a
few bounds ahead of his pursuer.
Henceforth sentries assigned to
this particular post will be armed
with shot guns.
