Now that I think about it, probably was 15. I remembered the 5. If it was 50, the whole company would have probably been in the marines. Survival odds were better in the navy.
I was not a real gung ho sailor, but I worked hard to make rate as soon as I was eligible. to make second class in a four year enlistment wasn't all that common.
