There is one more formal school at MCRD, San Diego, that leaches Marines to perform the oldest mission of the Corps. Sea School, the only one in the Corps, takes recent graduates from both Parris Island and San Diego and trains them for duty aboard ships of the United States Navy. (See Leatherneck, September 1982.)

After repairing disabled trains and tracks, and serving as their own engineers, brakemen and firemen, the Marines brought up field guns and ammunition. A heavy bombardment lasting three hours softened the hill and the advance was made. On 4 October the hill was captured and its guns turned on rebel forces entrenched on nearby La Barranca. Marine losses in the day's operation were four KIA and eight wounded.

Marines fresh out of boot, rank among the saltiest men anywhere and according to a standing observation, they are convinced that no one ever had it as tough as they. Actually, it has never been a picnic and the recollections of San Diego's alumni are varied, indelible and distinctly different from those of the battle-primed Marines who passed through San Diego in large numbers en route to the island assaults of the Pacific during War II.

The number of ranges in operation at CamPen varies with the troops and units present, but with both the First and Third Divisions in the Far East, the Section had 68 ranges and two artillery impact areas open for business, in addition to controlling the combat towns and other training facilities. The section furnishes troops to operate the four base rifle and two pistol ranges, plus the infiltration courses; the remainder are furnished to units on a housekeeping basis.

THE BRIGADE moved into an assembly area hear Masan, preparatory to embarking for the Inchon landing. During this time we were in Eighth Army reserve. However, it is axiomatic that the artillery is never in reserve, and rightly so. So, the battalion was directed to move to the original Chindong-ni area again. This time we were 1) in direct support of RCT 5 (Army), and 2) reinforcing the fires of the Army field artillery battalion which was attached to RCT 5.

SINCE THE late President Franklin D. Roosevelt came West to dedicate \"a new Marine Corps encampment in the memory of a gallant Marine,\" Camp Pendleton has been of paramount importance to a world in war and a nation building toward everlasting peace. Named for the late Major General Joseph H. Pendleton, the base was dedicated when the late Mrs. Pendleton, \"Aunt Mary\" to Marines everywhere, attended the ceremony and raised the colors for the first time on September 25, 1942.

Although the number of Marines at Camp Pendleton has dwindled to a fraction of the wartime peak, CamPenmen are still engaged in a training program very similar to the one which was given to their World War II buddies. Today, [Joseph H. Pendleton] is the home of the famed First Division. Troops from that outfit spent last summer training the 6400 Reservists who were sent to the camp for two weeks of active duty.

Forster, an Englishman, who loved the carefree \"manana\" life of the Mexican, preserved all the Spanish customs during his occupancy of the ranch from 1874 to 1882. Spanish was the only language of the rancho and travelers were lavishly entertained. But financial difficulties also overtook the gay Don Forster. Late in 1882 Forster sold the rancho to Richard O'Neill for $250,000. Immediately, O'Neill deeded the property to James C.

I believe that the article appearing in THE LEATHERNECK under date of August 9, 1924, entitled \"The Second Brigade Marines, Santo Domingo, D. R.\" should have contained the name of the first commanding officer of the Second Brigade of Marines-Col. Joseph H. Pendleton.

The Marines' exposition duties included the usual drill and inspections. In addition, the band gave concerts at the Spreckel's music pavilion, and the Marines battled civilian teams on the baseball field. With the Marines well entrenched at the exposition, San Diego's boosters, with help from Col [Joseph H. Pendleton], made sure Congressman [William Kettner] understood their priority on getting the Fourth Marine Regiment permanently stationed in San Diego.
