part in a major amphibious exercise on
the southeast coastof the U. S. with the
2nd Marine Division, Camp Lejeune,
N. C. The exercise, involving 80 ships,
347 aircraft and 42, 000 Navy and Marine
Corps personnel, began October 19 and
wasclimeixed by an amphibious assault
on Onslow Beach, N. C. , November 3.
Supported by ships of the Atlantic Fleet,
the Marines landedby helicopters, sur
face craft, sea planes, land planes and
submarines. They were opposed by a
simulated force of Marine "aggressor'^

i Stic training in all phases of amphibious
warfare, including the simulated use of
of offensive and defensive atomic weap
ons.
Sgt. Nance was a boarder at Plant

Dear Mr. Snotherly,
I thought I would drop a line to thank
you for sending the AMCO News. I sure
did enjoy reading it. I Know I read it
through at least five times. I got a big
kick out of the way the knitters at
were dressing in "Bermudas. "
Well, I'm finishing up Jump School
thisweek. I jumped once Tuesday, once
yesterday and twice today. I've got to
make another one tomorrow and I'll g®^
my "wings" Saturday morning. I guess
you're wondering how I like jumping*
Well, I like it just fine except for one
thing. I can't figure out why there's such
a rough ending to such a smoothe ride.
I get a few more aching bones every time
I jump.
Well, that's about all for now. I'n’
looking forward to the next AMCO.
Sincerely,
Bill Chniel
