I was attached to M.A.D. Pax. Gunny Leckemby anyone? Great marine. Then volunteered for the Drill Field. The F-4's at Beaufort were replaced with F-18's around 86' 87'. Man, that is a sweet bird. Went to El Toro in 88'.
    Alec, I was right next door to you in El Toro, VMFP-3.....but a few years earlier. Man I had a blast in El Toro, that base was in primo SoCal. Used to blast on my bike to Laguna Beach daily, great times.

    Hey, Alec, I was with VMF-251 from April '57 to June '58. We had FJ-3s at the time. We were at MCAS, Opa Locka, FL (Miami). 251 was just getting their sh*t together after rotating back from Korea. I joined them right out of AQ school. Opa Locka was closed in late '59 or early '60.

    THE MARINE PILOT


    Damn, I never thought of this-beats the hell out of blowing out your ears too ! During a commercial airline flight a Marine Pilot was seated next to a young mother with a baby in arms.
    When her baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing her infant as discreetly as possible.
    The pilot pretended not to notice and, upon debarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related articles. When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, 'Gosh, that's a good looking baby...and he sure was hungry!'
    Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said breast feeding would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.
    The Marine Pilot sadly shook his head, and in true Marine Corps fashion exclaimed .... 'And all these years I've been chewing gum!!!

    Hmx-1

    I'm PCS-ing to Quantico to HMX-1 as a 6173. I'm a straight up nugget and if there are any of you out there that can give me some pointers, tips, help, hot spots, insight, etc... message me. I check in on the 29th but will head down tomorrow and stay out in town so I can visit and get somewhat acquainted with the place.

    If a marine ordie said that "AO AO AO AO" he would get punched in the face, the Navy says that crap
