During the run up to the missile crisis I was stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, N.C. We had all our equipment, generators, water buffalo's and such on the flight line ready to be loaded onto cargo planes for the trip south. We were mostly a bunch of young studs (or thought we were) and the ones who could not grow a mustache were putting Kiwi black shoe polish above their upper lip to get the look. There was some disappointment when we were told to stand down.
