You're an old Army man, right? How come Gomer wasn't put into the motor pool when he joined the Service? With a background as a mechanic, wouldn't that be almost automatic?
Well, I'm former Army(old?), not Marines. But remember that Gomer had, at most, less than two years of mechanic experience prior to his Marine induction. Thus, his mechanic experience was probably suspect. On the other hand, Marines are known for brawn, not brains!
My almost 85 year old father, who was decorated at the Chosin Reservoir, would probably disagree .
