Thanks for your fine service in the "Can-Do" section of our Naval Forces-- I had a distant relative (my late mother's step-brother) born in 1921-- Served in the Sea-Bees in the PTO 3 years- came back in 1945, survived the Kamakazi arracks- Passed away a year ago at age 89-- I saw some of his photos from his tours. I forget what his rate was, I think perhaps E-5 when he was discharged.

I agree, a 12 bore pump gun with a short cyl. bore barrel an 00 buckshot is a superb short range defensive tool. I am glad you came home "To The World" on your feet, and NOT in a body Bag. RWTF.. (Semper Fi)
