The Azores and Barbados...Adak and Barrow
The Azores and Barbados, real hotbeds of Marine Corps activity back in the 50’s I guess but who knows.
Adak and Barrow… well sometimes you gotta take the bitter with the sweet.

The Marine Corps has a name for guys who say they wished they’d joined the Coast Guard.
Begins with a P and ends with a Y.
The Azores and Barbados are where his Coast Guard buddy, enlisted the same day dad did, pulled duty, brainchild. The Coasties got pretty good duty stations, Marines ended up in places like that garden spot called Adak, although Dad ended up on Haiti for a short stint.
Didn’t love that, either.
Best,
Ted

I suppose Adak beats Detroit, but, a smart guy would prefer Key West-and join the Coast Guard.
Smart doesn’t seem to be something that troubles you.
