Marine Corps - Devil Dogs
In the Corps I enjoyed some of the best times of my life. Sure, it wasn't all fun...but what is? I have now been out for over six years and in my personal experience I can tell you that I still have not found any other job that offers the challenges, esprit de corps, and overall fun that I found in the Marine Corps.

Where are all of my Fleet Marine friends?
I would really like to hear from anyone who knew me during my tour. I graduated from Platoon 3098, 3rd Battalion, I Company, Parris Island on December 5th, 1986. Drill Instructors were Sgt McCray, Sgt Kirby, and Sgt McGovern. After boot camp I went to Naval Air Station Millington, Tennessee for Aviation Ordnance training. After that, in April 1987, I took a train to MCAS Yuma (with my reluctant travel companion and drinking buddy Glenn B.) for on-the-job training and more school. In August 1987, I PCS'd to MCAS Tustin and was assigned to H&MS-16 of MAG-16. I made good friends there as I did everywhere, but have now lost contact with them all. Although I can remember faces, I sometimes can't recall the names. Some names I do remember are Rusty C., Mario S., Phillip B. I left Tustin in June 1988 headed for Marine Security Guard school in Quantico, Virginia. If any of you jar-heads are out there, please write to me.
And all my friends from MSG School?
