My father was WWII Vet doing Recruiter duty for the USMC in the Bronx NY. He got a call with 48 hours of the start with orders to get to Camp Pendleton ASAP.
He ended up in Korea August of 1951 as SgtMajor 2nd Bat 7th Marines and came home August/September 1952 as. 1st Lt.
He retired in 1957 after 20 years.
