Brig Posted February 21, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2018 I'm looking at a muster roll to a Marine who was with Marine Detachment, Flag Allowance, Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet Google isn't helping. Can someone tell me what ship this was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted February 21, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 21, 2018 Could Flag Allowance be a special pay supplement for marines serving aboard the flag ship of Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet whichever ship that was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted February 21, 2018 Share #3 Posted February 21, 2018 I am thinking Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet may have been shore based, and this may have been the Marine Guard detachment at his headquarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted February 21, 2018 Share #4 Posted February 21, 2018 Gil is correct, "Flag Allowance" is duty assigned to an Admirals Security detail (i.e. a flag officer) They are assigned to the flag officer (command) and not a specific vessel. In this instance, it's duty to CINCPACFLT. Here's a thread on a Marine assigned to Chester Nimitz (note: see page 2) http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/219657-marine-corps-display/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
