Electronic Lucky Bag: Third Battalion

Robert Jordan Bridgeman

Somerset, Massachusetts

Bob, alias Robby Roadrunner, brought his winning personality and quick smile to the Brigade in lieu of accepting an appointment to the Coast Guard Academy. His lack of physical stature is inversely proportional to his enthusiasm for a good time or an extra hour's sleep. His participation in plebe soccer, company soccer, and lightweight football exemplified his outstanding competitive spirit. The plebes will remember Bob as a connoisseur of fine sandwiches and sundaes. These appetizing concoctions will be placed high on the tantalizing delights capable of preparation by the upperclass gourmets. Bob's plans after graduation include a career in "anything but the Marine Corps." His ability to cooperate and yet display the appropriate amount of leadership promises to make his a brilliant future.

He enriched his professional knowledge in activities with the YP Squadron. Well liked by all who knew him, Earl will be as much a credit to the naval service as he was to the Brigade during his four years by the Severn.
