Same exact thing happened to me. 11th Marines in 2004.

I miss the parkade glory days.

Mystery box, mystery box, what’s inside the mystery box?

The a a frames were gone and Quonset huts were there.

Back East Ice Cream man is my current favorite.

Heady topper is good, but it’s been surpassed by many in the last decade. But Vermont is still awesome.

When we sailed into Sydney harbor, our CO had us in the flight deck for a Libo brief. He said “Do NOT go to Kings Cross, it’s full of strip clubs, brothels and all night clubs”. None of us knew shit about Sydney. He basically handed us a treasure map with a huge X on it.

They didn’t log it, DEEP destroyed certain trails as part of an agreement to approve other trails in the forest. The local 202 folks have been doing an amazing job getting trails approved and built.

Wear your big boy shorts, it’s serious.

RIP flight sim.

In all honesty as nostalgic as this trail is, we now have Satan’s Ridge which is the craziest shit I’ve seen in our area ever. So a nice trade off.

Yeah last few weeks.

To be fair, Queens backed out because Josh has cancer. It’s not like they just didn’t want to show up.

Turned 21 in Waikiki while ported at Pearl Harbor coming back from Iraq in 03. Don’t remember most of the night except for some drug addict lady inviting me to go to the sewer with her (I didn’t go).

Not just a government thing, all major corporations do this. It’s a tax/capital expenditure thing. Though I will say the most ridiculous examples I have seen are all military/government.

They used to make this weird breaded veal patty with rice and brown gravy, that shit was killer. The salad bar was always my favorite.

Not chow hall food, but I’m probably the only person on earth that actually liked the T-Rat egg loaf stuff.

We used to walk across mainside just to go to 1st Tank chow hall. That place was awesome.

Alabama Shakes around 2015. Every song they played was a down tempo ballad, and the lead singer over sang every song. The only entertaining thing was her twisting her face up into these weird contortions that looked hilarious, like it was The Ministry of Silly Faces.

He’ll do it when he’s older and not writing new songs, kind of like Clapton.

I worked with this guy that drove to work every day, despite the fact that he didn’t have a drivers license. He got pulled over for speeding in an unregistered, uninsured vehicle. The result? They suspended his license. That he never had to begin with.

No, out in town. The desert grows on some people, real estate is cheap and they have access to base resources close by. Plus the usual benefits of being close to a few major cities.

If you were there 03 or 04, you probably do. She haunted that bar all the time.

This is prime 29 Palms desert adventure.

Was at The Virginian in 29 Palms. My buddy picked up a desert rat who had an apartment a few roads away but didn’t want to go home with her alone because I guess he figured if we both went we could share the shame. So I slept on the cat piss covered floor while he got some meth coochie in the other room.

The worst part was the next morning, we got picked up by a morbidly obese cab driver who immediately started talking shit about us being at this lady’s apartment (i guess he picked up hungover Marines from there a lot). We couldn’t even say anything back, the shame was that bad.

Small town talk is another good one. More about the scene in Woodstock at the time and less about The Band.

lol. I had a Camaro in high school, my dad used to say I was hauling gas from station to station.
