My grandpa, W. Don Scott. He was on the USS Sands in the Pacific before these photos were taken. The Navy sent him to diesel school at the University of Missouri where he met my grandmother. They corresponded while he was at sea and eloped when he returned on leave. In these photos, he is back on duty in California. Pay records got lost, which let him spend the last year of the war stateside with his new bride. I don't know what the official policy was for use of official vehicles off-base, but they had no transportation of their own, so grandpa often came home in trucks like this.
