Mr JT interesting topic thanks for posting.

Seems to be quite a few of us had the same duty stations and even the same jobs at one time or the other.

RonH I started MCRD in San Diego May of 84.

elcrusr your the first FM I ever seen post. I was an FM at Minot mostly at the Golf and India sites.

mtb1bkr I spent about 3 months at 29 Palms going to school in 84. Interesting place to say the least. Guessing it hasn't changed all that much. I remember having pay lines out on the parade field. We had to stand in line in order to get paid.
