News in Brief: Sgt. Reckless And Recruit. At Camp Pendleton, California, a heroic Marine veteran of the Korean War, Sgt. Reckless, a supply horse honored for service under fire, gives a new recruit to the Corp. Sign: Camp Pendleton Riding Stables. Large handmade banner - "It's a Boy. Mother and Son Doing Fine." Baby horse scrambles to its feet beside mother; the foal apparently is named "Private Fearless." Sergeant Reckless - wearing a label naming her as such - runs with the young horse.
