Angela's Utilities

		Angela's Utilities
		This is actually a very nice photo that I couldn't figure out how to scan properly. That's Angela, my wife of a few days, posing in a set of my utilities. Notice the well-starched cover. The picture was taken in our first apartment. We were there only a couple of weeks before India Battery shipped out for Okinawa. India was assigned to provide artillery support to the 3d Battalion, 7th Marines. 3/7 happened to be the "ready battalion" at the time and was the first infantry unit from Camp Pendleton to head toward Vietnam. And we were the first artillery battery. This was not a good time.
