Assitance request

I'm attempting to learn about my uncle the Marine. All of his next of kin are deceased. I submitted the form 180 but they returned it saying 'insuficient information'. After searching through some old letters I found his service number and a bit more info. Resubmitted the 180, but never got a reply this time (8 months ago).

I know where he attended boot camp and date graduated.
I have his service number
When and where he attended aircraft maintenance school. I have the actual 'Marine log' from that school.
I know when and where he was discharged.

A shot in the dark:
His name is Carl R. Jacobsen. He went to boot camp in San Diego and graduated with platoon 1051. He might have been on Guadalcanal. He was discharged in Sept. 1948 from the 830th bomb Squadron in Roswell, New Mexico.

Should I try the form 180 yet again?

TIA

 

The 830th Bombardment Squadron was part of the 509th Bombardment Wing (Very Heavy). This was the USAAF's (and is today) strategic (ie nuclear) bombardment unit at the time. I cannot see why a Marine would have been assigned to such a unit as it is not in the same service.
During WW 2 the 830th was initially trained on B-24 and later switched to B-29s.

The MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot) in San Diego wasn't unusual for boot camp at the time.
What was his occupational speciality in aircraft maintenance if you know it? Where did he attend this maintenance school and does it specify the type(s) of aircraft he was to work on?
It appears that he might have changed service branches at some point going into the USAAF also because of your discharge information.

 

T A,

The school was: 'Naval air technical training center' in Memphis, TN.

According to what he wrote on the inside cover, he graduated from the "Millington mud hole" on June 12, 1943 as an Aviation machinest mate-ordanance & radio.

There is a photo of him with 'Section 2 of Class M-3

The story I got is that he and three others who were discharged at the same time, all bought a car together and headed toward Michigan where he lived. They didn't make it out of NM, but drove off a cliff, and all four of them were killed. When they brought his body home my mother made them open the casket to be positive it was her brother. She said he had a broken neck but not another mark on him.

No mention of type of aircraft, but in the class graduation photo's they are posing in front of a trainer I cannot identify.
It has a round engine, 2 bladed prop and landing lights on the leading edge of both wings.
