VMO-2 Mascot Justin Case

I've told several friends about the monkey who would quite often sit on top of the line shack and take a leak ( on purpose ) on whoever was was going outside! It was pretty funny as long as he didn't do it on you. After a while he advanced to masterbating , that was low even for a monkey! Thanks for this photo it brings back a lot of memories. -Submitted by: Tom Mo Morrison [TommyMo45@aol.com] 2006-06-14

L/Cpl Justin Case was the Mascot for VMA 225 at Chu Lai from May to Oct. 1965. Justin belong to VMA 225 Ordinance OIC Lt. John Chizzini from Long Island, N.Y. You could always recognize Lt. Chizzini by his Handlebar Mustache. VMA 225 went back to CONUS in Oct. 1965. Lt. Chizzini stayed in Viet Nam after we went home. He was transferred up to Danang. So VMO 2 picked up Justin as their Mascot. Lt. Chizzini had other Monkeys on our tour of the Western Pacific Oct. 1964 to Oct 1965. The monkeys name comes from an expression that VMA 225 CO Lt. Col. Robert W. Baker alway said, Just In Case Yes Justin took a leak on everything down at Chu Lai also. Both Lt. Chizzini and Lt. Col. Baker passed away in 2007 in Florida. If you do a search on Popasmoke Photo search engine on the left put in Justin Case and press GO, you will see a couple of photos of Justin at Chu Lai. -Submitted by: Martin Halpin [mjhalpin@juno.com] 2009-11-11

Justin is on the sholder of SSgt Frank Pfeiffer the VMO-2 Ops Chief. He never did pee on me.
