Results of phone call #1 to 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd MARDIV at Camp Lejeune, NC...
http://www.2ndmardiv.marines.mil/Units/2ndTankBN.aspx

"Good morning sir,

We spoke on the phone about the M48A2 tank and I did some research for you. The following is a link that should help you. This website is not USMC official, but it does seem credible.

http://mcvthf.org/History/Evolution_of_Marine_Tanks.html

Respectfully,
Lance Cpl. Damarko Bones
II MEF PAO
(910) 449-8592"

Well if the link looks familiar it should, It's the one I originally posted. He did also verify the picture as authentic from my last post as well and that he was the CO of the unit at the time it was taken. No hesitation on the part of LCpl. Bones in pulling up this site either, it must be in their "favorites" or some such for ready access. We were done in about five minutes.

I'm currently awaiting a response from S-3 Operations to the same question on left on their voice mail (Weird the PAO didn't have voice mail) from 1st Tank Battalion, 1st MARDIV at 29 Palms, CA.
