I was in MWSG-37 in 1965.

3/65-2/66: Mwsg-37 & Mag-15

After so many years, it is hard to place a name with a face but his name is very familiar. VMA 121 rotated to Chu Lai in Dec 66...VMA-211 came back in Nov 1966. I left MAG-12 Chu Lai in May 67.......

Looking for Capt. George McHale who was an ordie in MAG 12 and Capt. K.J. Chun (ROKUSMC) Blue Dragon Division pilot... both at Chu Lai MAG-12 1966-67.

Terry..

Why is this just applicable to El Toro?? Didn't we use the same degreasers across the Wings??

Barry..

Would be interested in trading pics...email me back.

I was in 37 for a few months in 1965....
