Mr. Powers.

Yes; they're running over the ship; they're used for loading and unloading of supplies and running back and forth while we're on the harbor, taking people off leave and from.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, your embarkation was--would you check your orders, the 21st of August, am I correct?

Mr. Powers.

I'm not sure. From here I don't have any orders.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mr. Powers.

I think these orders are all in the group orders, and they are not given to individuals as such.

Mr. Jenner.

I see. All right. You went from San Diego to what port, what foreign port?

Mr. Powers.

Yokohama. Again, I'm not sure. I think it was Yokohama.

Mr. Jenner.

Yokosuka rather than Yokohama?

Mr. Powers.

Yes; there is two of them right in the same proximity. Yokosuka is probably the right one. I'm not sure now.

Mr. Jenner.

What was the military base?

Mr. Powers.

That we reported to?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mr. Powers.

Atsugi.

Mr. Jenner.

A-t-s-u-g-i?

Mr. Powers.

That's correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And that is the Marine base?

Mr. Powers.

Navy base with Marine squadrons flying out of it, but it's primary mission is a Navy base.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, were these same boys, Bandoni, Brereton, Camarata, yourself, Schrand, and Oswald, were you still a group?

Mr. Powers.

I don't think Bandoni was part of the group; no. He must have been because I have pictures. I don't think that he----

Mr. Jenner.

By the way, do you have pictures of--any pictures of these taken during the course of your time in the Marines which Oswald appears in?

Mr. Powers.

Just the one picture that I have of him appearing is a class-type photo when we got out of Keesler Air Force Base, and it shows Marine and Air Force personnel that graduated.
I have never run across any pictures of him of barracks life or anything like that.
Going back to your original question: Brereton was on it, and Camarata and Schrand--maybe Schrand came later, I can't say for sure. But Oswald and myself, but I think that Bandoni went on the east coast, but Brereton went to Iwakuni, which is another Air Force rather Marine base, and Camarata went down to a helicopter base somewhere in Japan, down in the harbor somewhere. I used to call him on the phone once in a while and talk to him.
And Brereton, I think--no, by gosh, maybe Bandoni was down at--no, that was Mike Cainey. We were flying between the Philippines, and if he would stop in at Iwakuni, I would stop in and see Mike.

Mr. Jenner.

Where?

Mr. Powers.

Iwakun, this is a base in the lower part of Japan.

Mr. Jenner.

I-o-w-c------

Mr. Powers.

I-o-w-a-k-o-n-n-i, I think. Iwakuni--i-e-, possibly. I think it's -i. I don't know. I'm lost, where I was. It seems to me that Brereton was over there, too, at Iwakuni, but I don't recall if I possibly saw him over there once or twice; it was either on a football trip or when I was flying down to the Philippines after wrestling season.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, tell us about the trip over to Yokosuka, the life on the boat and what he did and what you did and what things you did together, if anything, conversations that you had, those that you overheard, your opinion of him during that period, and reaction of the platoon or group to Oswald.

Mr. Powers.

At this particular period of time, now, you're starting to get into, say, the rank association that people of higher rank associate with people of lower rank at this particular period of time, you do see it more coming in the group relationship and this was brought about by my becoming a corporal, and I wasn't assigned some of the tasks that the privates, first class, and privates were assigned, and I recall I didn't have to do anything going over, and there were
