Jon Coombs
Class of 1981
Marine Corps, 4 Years
Served four years as a aircraft structural mechanic. My unit was one of the first aviation outfits to set up at Chu Lai, Republic of Vietnam, before the place even had any aircraft. (1965)
Kinda hairy at times, but an unforgettable experience. At the time I was wondering what the hell I'd gotten myself into. No hero, but I did what I was sent to do.
