Force Base.
Colonel FOLSOM. Yes; undergoing duty under instruction.
Mr. ELY. Moving to the "reason" column on this page, we have here an
entry of 27 October 1957, which is abbreviated, "To Sk." What does that
stand for?
Colonel FOLSOM. To sick. He was admitted to the U.S. Naval Hospital
Yokosuka, Japan.
Mr. ELY. And the entry directly below that one, which is abbreviated
"To Du" would mean return to duty?
Colonel FOLSOM. That is correct.
Mr. ELY. The entry directly below the To Duty entry which is
abbreviated "SEMIAN" would indicate what?
Colonel FOLSOM. That it was a semiannual marking.
Mr. ELY. In other words, this is an entry strictly for marking purposes?
Colonel FOLSOM. That is correct.
