VMGR -352, MCAS El Toro, Santa Ana, California

[sampez71]

Hoping to locate anyone from VMGR-352 before the move to Miramar. The Skipper at the time was LtCol Pellicone. Sound familiar? I was part of the S-1 Admin Office and in charge of the SRBs/OQRs.

Give me a shout because I would love to hear from you and catch up.

Hi Perez,

LCPL Denton here (formerly).

I was assigned to VMGR-352 sometime around mid-1992 until about mid-1993. I remember your name and that you were S-1. I was a LCPL at the time also. I worked in the Avionics shop. I've been looking for a few guys from that shop too. I saw on another web site (over a year ago) where SGT Sterrett (sp?) had posted a thread. I sent him an email, but no reply.

Yes, I also remember LtCol JJ Pellicone. I heard he later was reassigned to fly either Air Force One or one of the Presidential helicopters. Is that true? What about CWO Austin? I assume he retired. Do you remember Sgt Sidoti? What ever happened to him? I wasn't really there for all that long. I got out on some dip-**** medical boot. I wasn't even in long enough to receive my Good Conduct Medal.

Here's a "small-world" story for ya...I was working at a men's clothing store in a mall in Little Rock about 10 years ago. I cannot remember his name, but I ran into a tall, dark green Marine KC-130 pilot. He was a captain while I was a Marine and still a captain when I ran into him. I recognized him right away. He had been assigned to Little Rock Air Force Base for retraining or something like that. He "sort of" remembered me. It was really weird. I was out of the Corps by that time, but I kept calling him "Sir." What a dumbass.

Anyway, it was great to see a name that I am familiar with...! Where are you now? What are you doing?

Me? I own & manage a software development company in, of all places, Arkansas. We're small, but we are growing very quickly.

Please feel free to email me at: sdenton@dentonsoftwaresolutions.com

I would love to hear from you.

Semper Fi,
LCPL Denton
