First was USN boot camp, 1961, next was US Navy fleet sonar school, Key West Florida. Beach watch waiting for Cubans also.
Just got my first one this month, a 1943 (year I was born) and it is a beauty.
I also was on the drill team in Key West and twirled the big M1 like a baton!
My M1 is one of the most accurate rifles I own or have shot.
