  While some of the astronauts in the photo flew on Gemini missions, this photo should be labeled as the Original Mercury 7 astronauts -not Gemini astronauts.

  You have several of the astronauts' names wrong. Left to right: Schirra - Cooper - Shepard - Grissom - Glenn - Carpenter - Slayton

  The written record suggests that this was at Wallops. This is anecdotally supported by that fact that there really was no need to travel all of the way to Rosie Roads to complete basic open-water training, especially with all of the other activities and training occurring at Langley, Johnsville, the Cape, and factory visits at Kearney Mesa and Marshall and STL during this same time. Doesn't make much sense.
