We spent 12 weeks in Boot and fired at Camp Matthews then and hiked back to the busses from the rifle range. Spent a week at the Rifle Range on Mess Duty. Have always been Glad I served time in the Corps. Went to Pendleton for ITR and then out to 29 stumps for 18 months. Great memories of that time in my Life.
