Taking Heavy Rolls

    In 1964 I was a Navy Corpsman assigned to Weapons Platoon, G Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina and we were taking part in Operation Steel Pike. 

    On the way to the Mediterranean, in the mid-Atlantic, they passed the word over the ship’s 1MC (loudspeaker) to standby to take heavy rolls and this video reminds me of that experience. The accompanying song is also meaningful.
