other duties, to visit all the’
units of the Marine Corps.
The Inspecting GeneralsTeam I
is not a group going a round I
because they are a pointed to j
do the job. When they go to
a unit such as ours, they go !
to check to see if we are do- ;
ing things correctly and to J
correct us if we aren’t.They j
may not inspect every man by j
personnaly having him lay out j
his clothing, or stand a per- j
sonnel inspection, but don’t
think they aren’t inspecting
you. Their eyes and earsare |
trained and most likely eve
ry man in the unit was being |
observed. Every departmentis
also checked very thoroughly. j
In administration they go th- !
rough the record books, man- •
uals, orders, forms that we
have, let us know what we
need, and correct us on the
things they find wrong. Sup
ply is checked also on the
upkeep of their manuals and ,
directives and their books are
\ checked against the supplieson
’hand to see that the books are
i being kept up to date.The brig
! and guard sections are checked
! to■see that we have maximum se
curity* a-d to see that things
! are being handled efficiently.
! The Commanding Officer5 Ma
. ri.ne Barracks would liketotake
• this opportunity to show hi-s
! appreciation for a very good
inspection. The hard work and
; tireless efforts put forth by
I each and every Marine in the
| unit is to be commended. We
I knew5 and now it is proven th
! at we are one of the best of
j the many fine organizations of

I Next5 the men of Marine Bar
j racks would like to thank Kaj
