Happy Veterans Day. Thanks to all who served, and the families that supported them. This is the Riverine Utility Craft that we used on Parris Island to retrieve recruits who tried to leave the island before their graduation date. The RUC was well suited for the swamps. It had two Chrysler 440 magnum engines. Each screw shaped pontoon was powered by one engine. This photo was taken in 1978. Visited Parris Island in 2019 they are no longer in use.
