Claims she was never in the Marines. Why? Cause she got the clap!
Oh yeah, that would show up at the Kennedy Center Tribute.
"Bea, when they mentioned service in the Marine Corp, they didn't mean SERVICING THE MARINE CORP!"
Ah well, not the first Marine who needed a shot of Penicillin.

From Wiki.........
During World War II she spent 30 months in the Marine Corps, where she was one of the first members of the Women's Reserve and spent time as a typist and a truck driver despite publicly denying any military service
Now, why would she deny military service? Not popular with liberal Hollywood back in the day?

I suspect it was more to do with her medical history. That would have terminated her Hollywood career in an instant. And if her military record became public, so would that unfortunate episode...

That makes sense, BT. Haven't met any Marines who 1) admit to having served and 2) aren't immensely proud of the fact.
That could be it BT. Still interesting to read.
