My name is Phil Mercuri. I was assigned to company 130 and was Squad Leader #4. Is there anyone out there who was part of my company. Our Flag Bearer's name was Hillary Wong. Unfortunately, I do not remember anyone else. Though I do believe there was on other individual named Ace Goodman. I could be wrong.

Boy, talk about a shock. Arrived San Diego Recruit Training around 10:30 pm on July 12, 1965. After about 3 hours of sleep, started my 5 year stint in the U.S. Navy. Company 327, with RM1 Greene. Still have some of my pics of boot camp, my copy of the Anchor, the little record inside it, picture of my company and many memories. Left Houston, Texas with a bunch of other guys from around the state. Left Hobby airport on Tree Top Airways. That's what we called it, cause it flew so low. Remember the guy that sat next to me on the plane. His name was James Johnson and we hung together all through boot. Lost track of him after that.

John, I am quite surprised that someone did not convince you to go to RM school!
