TAILLESS TWIN-JET FIGHTER COMPLETES

By CpL M. J . Granillch The Rifle Range is the only place where a Marine getR a chance to

shoot off something besides his mouth , and he t akes advan t age of i t . The United S ta t e s Marine is one of the finest " g u n m e n " in the world. and with good reaRon. The average Lea the rneck receives more and bet ter t ra in ing than any other se rv iceman .

In "boot camp," the tyro receives two s t r enuous weeks of " snapp ing in." get t ing into position, learninig the sight p ic tures and s ight a d j u s t -ments . When th is t r a in ing is over, the ac tua l firing commenses . F i r s t , j the recrui t* receive the i r "bapt i sm of fire" with the .22 cal iber rifle,1

then the Carbine . M-l , and f inal ly the BAR and rif le g renades . In ac tua l j firing, the Lea thernecks a r e allowed only 60 seconds to "squeeze off" j 16 rouds in rapid fire.

For an insight ap to what goes ou at the Cher ry Point Range, let ' s ; follow my two weeks out there . Dis regard ing the fac t tha t the two ^ weeks I spent were cur ta i led by the Thanksg iv ing hol idays , you can <>> K I M U M i the RIGHT ANSWER j:et some idea of jus t what goes on. | How many t imes you and I have

Oil Monday, o u r first day. we were issued rifles. For the first t h r ee run a c r o s s the individual who is inorningH. we spent o u r t ime at the School Range under the supervis ion j a lways se t t ing somebody e l se

[ r igh t ! His excuse for sounding off I oi: all con t rovers i a l m a t t e r s is

that people a lways know where he deal ing with his past exper iences on the range . His wa rn ing about j s t ands , and f u r t h e r m o r e , he views ge t t ing cu r ious about what goes on on the f ir ing l ine when we were : himself a s a l w a y s being correct .

The Padre Says J New GCA Units Ordered By Navy

By Chaplain R. D. Cleate>

of red-headed Master Sergeant Eric Joneson . H e "cu t us in on the i (

scoop" about windage and elevation rules , a l i t t le about the working •if the M-l. r a n g e ru le s and regu la t ions and what was expected of us.

During s p a r e moments , he regaled us with ta les of t h e "old Corps ."

This individual is known fami l ia r -

to o t h e r s of us a s a "loud mouth ' or some other re la ted t e rm. The main t rouble with his in format ion is tha t usua l ly it is a mass of ha l f -t r u t h s f rom which inaccura te con-clus ions may easily be d rawn .

Benjamin F rank l in , one of the

series of adroi t ques t ions , re-1 Memphis. Tenn. Also leaving for Ignoring the m a r m a r e d doubts a s to his san i ty . v e a j t | l p f a n c i e s Df t | , e o the r ' s ' Memphis is 1st. Lt. Samuel E.

a r g u m e n t . It was. and cont inues i Helm. J r . <NA» who was fo rmer ly

pull ing but t s had us pre t ty much ini s t i tches . We were then turned over to Pfc. Sal Daur ia . Sal is a coach f fom ( | y t o many Df ( l 8 a s a "sea lawyer ,

up-s ta te New York, but t a lks lik.» he 's f rom Brooklyn. Of course , coming f rom Da Bronx. I asked him about this . His lengthy, detai led reply was . " N A W ! "

While Sal. (We often wondered if h is name was "hepa t i ca" ) was at one end of the l ine supervis ing the snapp ing in. everyone a t the o t h e r end took "five minu t e " b reaks for 15 minutea . However , we did m a n a g e to get some snapp ing in done.

Sal got a little "put ou t " with some of tha s i t t ing p o r t i o n s , and saw tit to give u s a l i t t le l ec ture v I t^went somthing like t h i s :

"Youse guys a r e doping off When youae Kets down in d a sittin" position, d is is da way to do it ." T h e r e off", he would demons t ra t e .

"Now. youse s e t s your enables i elbows) down on your legs. Don't be a f ra id to bend over. Make s u r e youse geta down there , and if youse can ' t , s t r a igh ten up. and then hunel l over . !>o dis a couple of hundred t imes, you'll get down. he went on :

"And when youse gets down in the prono posi t ion, don' t be a f ra id to th row that butt way out there . If youse fcreaks it. we'll ge t you an-o the r one Now. let 's get out t he r e and s n a p in some more.1 '

On record day. we fired slow front t h e t w o hundred yard line. In slow tire, the target is raised up and one ahot fired at a t ime. A lot of shooters make thei r mi s t ake in not t ak ing thei r t ime. T h a t ' s where 1 made min.v •

Then we tired rapid fire f rom the kneel ing and s i t t ing posit ions on j the 200. The rapid tire target is called the "D" or "s i lhoue t te . " and ;

with good reason . The bul ls-eye is formed in the shape of a man ' s head and shoulder , and some shoo te r s like to imagine tha t the t a rge t is in real i ty the i r old D. I. Maybe tha t ' s why so many points a r e picked up in rapid tire.

The t a rge t s a r e worked f rom the bu t t s under the capable superv is ion i of Sgt Me Mullen, while Sgt. "Sammy Skcts , who u lways w e a r s a pair of sun c lasses on the brim of h is campaign ha t (he evident ly hoped | for bet ter weather* supervised f rom the flriug line. You can hea r Sgt. • Mac's ; voice easily on the 200 yard line, and it he lps in let t ing you !

know just when the t a rge t s a r e coming up. #

Sixty seconds a r e al lotted for each s t r ing of rapid fire. Again the t rouble with most shooters is that they ru sh the i r sho t s for fear of not having enough time. If each shot is given enough t ime to al low for the s ights to become recentered on t h e ta rge t , t he r e should be no t roub le in f i r m s a possible 1 know. 1 didn' t .

In the kneel ing and si t t ing position, we only got our knees and our s i t t e r s wet . but in the prone position, w-e had to lie down in the mud and water , and it wasn ' t exact ly comfor tab le .

We finished the firing with eight rounds of slow fire on the five hundred Remember ing that ".6 out of 40 1 fired the last t ime ont . I w a s •pretty confident of dropping only a few points . H a !

1 centered my sights , look a deep b rea th and let par t of it out. Tak ing •areful aim. I squeezed one off l"p conies "Maggie 's Drawer s . " Evidently. the guy in the bu t t s must have thought I was pa r t bull the way he waved that red flag. When 1 finally got up. I had dropped 14 points. It" I was m o r e bf a contor t ionis t . I would have kicked myself . As it was. 1 let well enough alone, for some of the r ange coaches have l a rge boondockers .

I could have done worse thau firing 2SS. but 1 a l so know tha t I could have done bet ter . Here ' s hoping some of you f u t u r e shoo te r s will profit by my mis takes . Take your t ime and you may be five dol la rs a month r icher .

. un ique f ea tu r e of the XF7U-1 is the absence of landing flaps.

Quantico Beats Bainbridge NTC

Quantico closed out their regular football season last week by whtpp-ng the Bainbridge Naval Training

Center. 12-0. In doing so, the Marines Marched to another unde-feated season and a playoff bid for the All Navy East Coast Service Championship.

In winning their ten successive games without a reversal. Quantico amassed the staggering total of 3 lb points against only 49 for their rivals. Of these. Fort Belvolr re-vived the lion's share on opening

day when they cut through the leatherneck defense for twenty seven. Xavier University managed to collect hfteen. while Parris Island accounted for the remaining seveu.

j Closest squeak In the Marine .victory chain occured against | Wayne t'niversity when the Detriot-ers held the vaunfed Quantico offense to a single touchdown and conversion in losing. 7-0.

! harcest score rolled up by the l Virginians came at the hands of highly regarded Fort Benning. who succumbed to leatherneck power by a «4-o margin.

At present, the Marines have an East Coast Playoff and an AU-Xavv Championship Date to dis-play their prowess. A possible

U-lash with Fort Bragg may be on j the agenda for Dec. 18 before the I Quantico gridders hang up their I football togs.

Boxers Ready For Fort Bragg Event; Donatelli New Star

The Cherry Point boxing team, undergoing Intensive training und-er the direction of Major Henry Hise and SSgt. Johnny Tinsley. should be all set for their matches with Fort Bragg on Dec. 9.

However, the most potent punch-er will be missing, according to local ring experts, who have been singing the praises of Claude Donatelli. a aew scrapper jost In from "Boot Camp" who has fought some 114 amateur bouts. The young middleweight's work-outs have been extremely impres-

sive. and though he'll bo una; to participate in the first Bragg affair, he'll be right on hi to swing leather when the soldi hit Cherry Point for a return s« of scraps on Dec. 20.

Against Fort Bragg, the Mirii will meet a skillful, well-drill and experinced assortment glovers coached by Lt. Ray T« well known fight tutor, who turned out some top notch cli in past seasons.

Two newcomers beside DCMW Pfc's A1 Rossi and Jimmy Gril are now with the squad and l be brough to the Army post oai 9th to throw some blows for leathernecks.

nation. Pens State held to 7 points. Army's failure to win e t e r >«Yy, and Santa Clan ' s tie with power parked Michigan State all coafased ami confounded the experts.

We were confuaed as well, for here at Cherry Point the football season seemed to hsvo ended with the Coral Sea game. However, one of those lucky twists of fortune inaerted Itself into the picture and

now the "Flyers" are being faced with the pleasant prospect of journey-ing to Hollywood. Fla. for a game with the Miami Unlveraity Freshman. The game will be played under the lights Dec. 10. A. Kawanis Club will sponsor the contest.

INFORMED BY TELEGRAM CapL J. R. Sloan. Cherry Point menter, was Informed of the lavitatlsa

through a telegram sent to the Athletic Department by the University of Miami oMrlais. In dae coarse. It was accepted and answered with a resounding "yea" by all concerned. *

Probable factors In the CnlvenltyN decision te Invite the "Flyers" may be based on the good, all-round year enjoyed by the Point, and by the strong finish the Marines put up sgalast the Csral Sea, whipping the Csrrlers, 56-0.

The leathernecks made one appearance this year in Florida, loalng to the strong Naval Air Station eleven. 26-6. though playing good ball throughout the conteat.

QI'AMTICO-BR AGG MAY PLAY Sarprlses weren't coniined to the "Flyers" alone, for the Esst l e a s t

S e n Ice Championship seems about to be settled between the two football giants, Qnnntlco nnd Fort Bragg. The Soldiers want a game with the Vlnrlnlans, and Dec. 1H Is rnmared to be the dnte of the pre-posed encounter, wltli the site undetermined.

Quantico should win. The leathernecks have whipped everything in sight on the East Coast plus a couple of mldwestern colleges, and with Ex-Annapolis stars Bartos. Moore and Ambrogi driving through the line. Quantico should emerge from the fray the victor.

Honeter , the element of the a a ex pec ted looms enee mere. Bragg, with it's tricky trio of Datldson. Mendevllle nnd Meyer, are not te he rousted off lightly, as Cherry Pelat well knows.

flcere of the squadron at any thletic contest attempted.

JWT-\ZZ UJ U. c. D. Jeraigaa

during the past few months, it has been the misfortune of VMF-122 to lose several of the older members. Not because they were very **ger or ready to leave, but because they ha3 completed the prescribed number of hours in the FH-1 "Phantom". The squadron officers, gone but not forgotten, are: L t Col. M. E. W. Oelrich. Maj. C. E. McCullah. Capt. J. R. Martin. IstLt. R. D. Green. IstLt. P. G. Pickett. 2ndLt. T. G. Mooney, IstLt. M. V. Seaman. IstLt. W. G. Mars. IstLt. F. G. Connelly. IstLt. L. T. Iglehart. and IstLt. W. H. Borti, Jr. Their replacements are Maj. A. J. Armstrong. Maj. L. D. Everton. IstLt. J. McManus. IstLt. S. W. Reese. IstLt. H. H. Holloway. IstLt. C. D. Jernigan. and Lt. J. D. Johnson.

Incidentally, there is a squadron custom whereby a new pilot check-ing out in the "Phantom" buys a round of beer for every previously qualified Phantom pilot present at

1 a pre-designated time and place. This custom is commonly known as "spring a round".

The squadron has been concen-trating on night flying recently to get pilots ahead of their required night time because of restricted operations in the coming winter months.

At present, we are flying field carrier landing practice in Cors-airs to qualify all new pilots and to re-qualify older pilots.

AES-46 Hr S f t . W. H. Stacy

Our volley ball team racked up-their final victory over VMT-1 on November 29th by a score of 15 to 2. Once again we have proven thai AES-46 has what it takes and we are sure of many more five point victories toward the Gener-al's trophy.

We will be represented by a sure fire basket team when they get underway next week. We have a razzle-dazzle team composed of some very fast and fancy boys Just out of high school, and several ex-perienced hold overs from last year coached by SSgt. Partin.

SMS-14 SMS-14, under the command of

Major E. K. Pedersen. Is well un-derway in changing over from the old type service squadron to the new streamlined service squadron of today.

The present organisa t ion calls for an engineering and material department. The engineering de-partment. under Capt. Robert Wall, is subdivided into radio-ra-dar. ordnance and engineering sec-tions. Heading the material de-partment is Capt. H. R. Moore.

B j Emll Skorpo;

| VMF-461 this week received word that the squadron earned a performance rating of "outstand ing" from ComCarDiv-14 for the reecnt cruise to the North Atlan-tic in the Second Task Fleet ex-ercises.

One of the reasons was contin-ued high plane availability despite heavy schedules and difficult op-erating conditions. A large share of the credit for this goes- to En-gineering Officer IstLt. Walt Stewart and his engineering chief. Master Sergeant Dan Charron. as well as to all the engineering per-sonnel for the hard work they put in.

Another reason for the rating was that the operations were con-ducted without accident -to air-craft. However, although the squadron's pilots came through un-scathed. a couple of injuries in line of duty among the enlisted men emphasizes the fact that pi-lots are not the only ones who face danger in their Jobs aboard a carrier.

Closest shave was Pfc. Vincent A. Curto's. A "chock puller-working on the flight deck during catapult takeoffs. he was lifted off his feet and blown back down the deck when the Corsair Just in front of him revved up to takeoff power. Sliding under the propeller of the plane behind his. he slammed into its landing gear. His next move was to the sickbay with severely wretched srm.
