I was with CSSD-14 from 94-96 and lived in that yellow castle. It was my favorite duty station and I missed it. Last Nov. I came back there and the front gate and the one right at the freeway were not there no more. All the farms in front are turned into big houses and shopping center and you barely can see the yellow castle from the main road.

Hey Everyone, I was stationed at El Toro, H&HS, and DetB Radio, MWCS-38. It was my first duty station. It was beautiful. I had a girlfriend that worked at the base dry cleaners. Id walk down to her work during lunch. Walk to the base gym, work. Everything was so green, the area (Tustin, Irvine, were really nice also).
It really made me sad to see pics on the internet...i hadnt seen since i was stationed there. It looks like a wasteland. weeds growing everywhere. and i just read that the base is/was contaminated. we lived there, pt'd there, hydrated with that water.

[maspotente2]

I wasn't with your unit, it is just good to see some other Marines from El Toro. I really miss the times there. I was with MWSG37, H&MS-37 (73/74 & 76/77). I worked in Hanger 96 at the Data Processing Center. It was a mobile union with the main component being directly on the flight line bahind the hanger. My barracks were located directly across the street from the Main PX.
