I now notice that I did not mention my detachment in my previous message.
It was Seoul, Korea.
Are there any other "Seoul Mates" out there?

How many Marines were ever the NCOIC (our title in 1966) of a MSG Detachment as a Sgt (SSgt Selectee)? Their title now is Detachment Commander, I believe.
I was for almost six months before I was relieved by a trained GySgt. I received no training.
I received no recognition for it, not even a Letter of Appreciation. Should that take place now, I probably would have received a medal.

Sorry that I did not make the Charleston re-union. Sounds like it was a good one!

Excellent reunion this year in N. Charleston, SC! Had a great time and really enjoyed celebrating the Marine Embassy Guard History which was all around! There really is nothing quite like a "Marine Celebration" no matter the "Climb & Place". I'm excited to mark Quantico on the calendar for next year! Semper Fi, -Jeff

I was stationed in Khartoum, Sudan from 1969 - 1971 as a Marine Security Guard at our Interest Section. Because our Embassy had been closed due to the Israeli an Egyptian 7 Day War.
I also was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal for action taken when our Interest Section came under fire from a Sudan Army Tank Unit during a counter Coue-da-ta.
