                        THE BUDDY PLAN

David, A. C. McEachern and Johnny Lee joined the Marines together in July 1957. They had

all been out of high school for a year and we all thought that we would soon be

drafted into the army. They joined the service under what was called "The Buddy

Plan" which meant that we would be guaranteed to stay together through boot

camp and advanced infantry training. A. C. and Johnny were stationed together for about

18 months at Camp Pendleton, Ca.
