I agree, he appears to be on the younger end of the estimate. To have
"earned" the swallow tattoo by tradition, he would have had to sailed quite extensively in a short time....Possibly serving aboard a ship that travelled between the US and southwest Asia. It's a little odd to see a person with both a USMC tattoo and what is traditionally a Navy tattoo, as the two branches don't get along so well.
The corpsman idea makes a lot of sense though.
Could he have been mistakenly listed as KIA or MIA, and thusly no one has been looking for him?
