Camp Johnson- 0431

BR34, are you a 3432, or a 51? I'm a 3451, myself.

cw2533, Camp Johnson is located at Camp Lejeune. It was initially the training facility used for training African American Recruits; Montford Point, as it was known, then. I do not recall specifics as to when Montford Point was started, nor when it's name was changed to the current one.

CAMP JOHNSON SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know what experience you all had there but i got stuck with guard platoon for 2 months 4 hours on 4 hours off at the cemetary. School was so backed up due to to the war in 2003.

montford point was from 64-69.... after 69 the moved them to PI and SD.... it opened after the military started accepting African Americans in. then after the civil rights passed is when it became complete integration.

johnson doesn't suck, just the kids complaining about it. I had fun the first time around... I was even there when the planes hit the towers... so imagine that kind of lock-down. You're treated like kids because you act like it, so you should police your own like we did.

point being, stop complaining because every incident is preventable at some level or another.

oh, and you're right embarkers are not red-patchers.... I got lost in numbers

embarkers are the guys who get everything ready to deploy............ I don't envy those guys.

So I report to Camp Johnson next week. I am going to be an 0431 Embarkation Specialist. I am looking for a bit of information about Camp Johnson and my new MOS. The school is only 5 weeks, and I should pick up Cpl while I am there.

Thank you all.

If this is true, why does your avatar show that you are a Cpl?

I had a secondary of 0431. You will learn how to pack equipment on every vehicle,plane, ship, and any other thing the Corps decides to carry equipment on. You will learn how to weigh everything and make sure all pallets are properly put together and packed and then covered with cargo nets.

You are also going to learn alot about HazMat and will find that ALL units will try to hide **** in their Embark boxes that is not suppose to be shipped. All in all though it's a lot of fun, and a lot of work when you go somewhere.

I thought the same thing, but this thread goes back a few years, so...

I was a lance when this thread was created a few years ago. When your avatar is changed it changes your avatar on all of your posts, including old ones.
