 Okinawa, January 1974
Three Marines on the flight line at Futima (center:  Eddie Brennan).  They must be getting ready for a turn-up as Eddie and another crew/chief are wearing sound suppression "mickey mouse" ears.

 CS dictates that a Marine laid out his uniform issue and 782 gear (combat equipment) in the correct military manner.  This "junk on the bunk" or "things in the springs" inspection received two "gigs" for whatever.  One gig might be for the canteen that fell over on the far side of the "rack."
