The first Special Basic Class graduated in October of 1950 and consisted of 360 junior officers from the Marine Corps Reserve. Some had served as enlisted men in World War II, but most had never served as officers on active duty. Veterans from this class were some of the first to fight in the Korean War. Three members of the class were awarded the Navy Cross and 12 received the Silver Star. Throughout the reunion, the class and their families toured MCB Quantico and the National Museum of the Marine Corps, as well the Pentagon where they met the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert Neller. That's it for your Marine Minute, for more news around the Corps go to Marines.mil.
