Sgt. Covington, a former Meridian Star employee, is visiting his wife and parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Covington, 1220 - 20th Ave. Sgt. Carmichael is the guest of his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Carmichael, 4212 Royal Rd.
The two Marines left Meridian September 4 with the Reserve group were among those who remained at Camp Pendleton, Calif. They have been together throughout the intervening months. Their training has been varied, including two trips to San Clemente island, 60 miles off the coast of San Diego, for maneuvers. These include amphibious landing operations.
