In 1954, Bob Abraham attended boot camp on Parris Island, SC, 1st Battalion, Platoon 165. Among the photos: My the cover of my Dad’s Parris Island, SC, yearbook when he graduated from Boot Camp as a United States Marine Corps back in 1954; Skinny Bob Abraham, my dad, shaking the hand of a VIP; I know who I inherited my too big supergrin from — I thought he was supposed to look like a badass Marine. Great smile; The proud (and smiley) First Battalion, Platoon 165; Bob Abraham, my dad, getting trained up on the M14 at Marine Corps boot camp on Parris Island, SC, before the anti-hazing reforms; Does this look like Bob Abraham? I think it does but I am not sure. Anyway, I believe that this is my dad, Bob Abraham, during his Parris Island, SC, Marine Corps boot camp.
