Mr. Powers. I think so. All the less, it wasn't—I don't think it was a Government issue; I think it was a small caliber. I think it was a .22.
Mr. Jenner. Yes; .22 pistol.
Mr. Powers. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. What was the scuttlebutt about that particular incident, if any?
Mr. Powers. Nothing. It—just the name again stuck to—"Ozzie screwed up again," or something. That was probably the general statement. I think this was the feeling of the group at that time.
Mr. Jenner. Now, you used an expression "screwed up again." I'm going to ask you now what was the reputation of Oswald and the attitude of the squadron with respect to him——
Mr. Powers. Well, going back to——
Mr. Jenner. During this period of time?
Mr. Powers. I think this idea of him being a somewhat weaker individual held—well, he was in the squadron here—physically he was not an overpowering individual, and "Ozzie," I think, stuck with him most of the time through the time he was in the Marines or at least the period that I was associated with him, and he did what he was told and never went out of the way to do any more, or just doing the least minimum that he could do as far as any type of work or anything like that, and he would screw up once in a while; and now in the terms of the Marine Corps, it would mean that he wouldn't always present himself in a first-class manner as far as dress or shave or sloppy in appearance sometimes.
Mr. Jenner. And how was he getting along with his fellow Marines during this period?
