Post; Marine Corps Trivia


Okay these questions will get progressively harder, and will pay off according to degree of difficulty.

First Question is worth 10 milbucks.

During the War of 1812 and the taking of Washington DC one goverment building was not burned. Name the building and it's location.

The Marine Aviation Contingent on Guadalcanal took it's nickname from the Code Word that referred to Henderson Field. What was the Marine Air Wing units nickname?
