WELCOME TO ADiiK
Marine Barracks welcomes First
Lieutenant George C„ HEARNJunior
wife and daughter for their eigh
teen month tour of dut3r on Adak•
Lieutenant HEARN, originallyffom
Louisiana, has served in theCorp
ince 1952. His duty
have been Third T/l
stations
’arms Air Wing,
Miami, Florida; Eight MarineCorp
Reserve Recruit District, New
Orleans, Louisiana; and U. S.Ka
rine Corps Reserve, QuanticoVir
ginia, where he spent his time
in Officers Basic School
and
(Rein)
a group of men
This
.long
with everything he learnsbasic
ally about the Marine Corps is
what makes a man into a good
officer. When a man finishes
Officers Basic School
he is
being
S o Ms —
prepared for the job of
a good officer of the B,
rine Corps.
Lieutenant HEARN will be re
placing Lieutenant DABSTER and
his job will be "Guard Officer"
the First Marine Division
Camp Pendleton, California.
Officers Basic School is per
haps one of the hardest schools
of the Marine Corps, both men
tally and physically. They go
out on survival hikes, run,com
mand troops, and learn how to
survive in the worst of condi
tions. He not only learns to
take care of himself, but also
Many of the men spent a lot
of their time bowling, skating
and working out at the Village
Gym.. About the largest sport
that the Marines participated
in was fishing. Some of the
|men went and stayed, overnight
at various places, and from
all reports, had an enjoyable
I time. Quite a few nice fish
iwere caught and were prepared
•forth© fishermen by the cook
!of the Marine Club.
• Through the hard work of the
Marines and the expert super -
vision of Sergeant .Major DONO
VAN 9 the club is improving all
the time. It is probably one
of the finest clubs on the is
land and it was the Marines'
themselves that made it that
way. When the Marines go out
fishing or hunting and catch
their game, they don’t haveto
worry about not being able to
cook and eat it. Tundra Tav
ern has a galley with a real
good cook and the game can be
prepared for the men there.lt
iis just one of the advantages
the club has over probablyany
other on the island.
A report also came in from
Sergeant HARRIS and Corporal
GOODWIN that they saw a few
Salmon/running out at Finger
Bay last week. It shouldn’t
be long before the Salmonare
filling the streams withthat
meat, so lets get the grease
{hot., the lines ready, and en
|joy some of that good ole’sea
jfood.
