Parade background scenes.


I was in Marine boot camp at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego when the DI was filmed. My training platoon was one of the units marching in the background during the two scenes when the movie platoon was on the parade field. My training platoon number was 2062. This was early in 1957. As I recall there several takes for the scenes.
