SgtMaj Jeff Study was the SgtMaj when I left for Quantico in 1997. SgtMaj Watkins sure rings a bell though.

There were at least 3 squadrons of F-18s at MCAS El Toro in 1985. I believe at that time VMFA-115 may still have been at Andrews AFB as a reserve unit.

Wow, the Wingers really came out of the wood work!! ROTFLMAO

If my memory serves me, I think gutinstinct got this stirred
up.
I can relate to what he said yesterday about the BB stackers
floating in at o?oo hours yelling AO AO AO... I guess it comes with the job. It is annoying, but it won't kill ya.
What really slams yer sphincter shut is when a bunch just like 'em is loading live ordnance at about the same
hour, starts running over each other in 5 different directions yellin' O S***O S***O S***!!!
The old skivvies will never be the same.

You just brought back a memory of mine by stating that am stirring S**t up. My old Shop NCOIC used to say it more like this. " L/CPL your always stirring up some s**t. I want you to square yourself away. Buy this I want you to trim your mustache, get a haircut, and GOD*** it lose some weight. " This was his favorate speach to me every time i screwed up. Thanks.

I was stationed at El Toro (73-74) & (76-77) with MWSG-37 H-MS-37. I was located at the end of the hanger with the trailer at the end. This was the Data Processing Center. Oh what memories. I also saw the hanger at the end of the movie. It brought back a lot of memories. Too bad that the base was closed down. It was one of the best.
