Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And where was he stationed at that time?
Mr. Oswald. New York City.
Mr. Jenner. Staten Island, I guess.
I would like to ask some questions about that later on, but I prefer now to return to this.
You enlisted in the Marines, then, in the summer of 1952.
Mr. Oswald. July 11, 1952.
Mr. Jenner. Would you give us in very short compass your military career?
Mr. Oswald. I went to boot camp at San Diego, Calif., and from San Diego I went to combat training at Camp Pendleton, Calif. When I left Camp Pendleton, I was transferred from the infantry into the Marine Air Wing.
I went to Jacksonville, Fla. to a preparatory school down there in Marine aviation—more or less to determine your ability and what your strong points were, and what field you would be best qualified in the aviation division.
