A Korean War Veteran's Memoir - Second Edition My book describes in detail my time in boot camp and my time training as a Marine "S.E.A.L.", working with rubber boats, off of submarines. I arrived at Boot Camp in Paris Island on March 6, 1948, about to lose quite a bit of my sense personal of identity- so I could undergo my transformation to a United States Marine. Made it through Boot Camp despite the arrogant cruelty of a supremely hated and feared racist drill instructor, Corporal Gunn." Became a member of the amphibious elite Marine Reconnaissance Company, precursors to the Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance and the Navy Seals of the Future, an Amphibious patrol, assisted by the crew, embarking onto a rubber boat from a submarine. I describe the invasion of Inchon South Korea and skirmishing our way to the capital city of Seoul, South Korea. On September 27, 1950 I was wounded by a ricochet from a shot fired at me by a sniper in a cave. I healed and returned to duty. But in October, 1950 we were deployed to North Korea, to combat against 200,000 Republic of China Troops. Their only intention was to annihilate the Marines. Our second enemy was the 30 below zero weather.
