MARINE BARRACKS CQiSTRUCTlQN PROJECT
Friday morning,I6Kov62, about 0100
I heard some sounds coming from out
side ray squadbay window, I got up to
see:.' what the noise was and at that
time I saw approximately 20 Marines
taking turns tobogganing down the
middle of A Street, I watched them
for a few minutes and then decided to
go back to sleep, I layed in my rack
for awhile .and just couldn’t get to
sleep. The noise sounded like it was
coming closer and closer until I
heard them right in front of tie Bar
racks, I arose again to see what
they were doing and saw they were
starting to build a snowman-at least
I thought it was a snowman until I
got dressed to go out and help them.
When I got there, they informed me
that it was going to be a snowwoman.
It took us approximately one hour to
construct her, I’m sorry to say
•that she fell over during the early
morning hours and there weren’t many
people afforded the wonderful oppor
tunity to see the Marine Barracks
