I was with 11th Mar, Radar Plt. I thought it sucked at the time but it was really one of the best tours I ever had. Had a great team and we were pretty close. We lost one Marine KIA, Sgt Pack, and one WIA, Cpl Collins.
When I got back I had the screaming wild banchie ****s for about two years. Navy witch doctors wouldn't do nothing for me. Finnally went on recruiting duty and went to an Air Force Hospital, Told them my problem and they sent me to the "fifth" floor. I reckon that was where they sent all the Gulf veterans that claimed problems. They ran about three million tests. Then prescribed a bottle of antibiotics and the shrimpies were gone forever. Kind of a ****ty story but that was all i got from the sandbox.

Yep, you are absolutely correct, so how did the rest of your time in OKI come out anyway?, By the way it's good to hear from some that's been there and done that, did you keep up with your military Rodeo interest?

Absolutely. I have it on our vehicles, the flags fly proud, it's all over my garage and of course it wouldn't be complete without my love me wall in the office. LOL. Not to mention that most t-shirts I own have something to do with the Corps. Get some!

MAG-11, VMFA-314 "BLACK KNIGHTS"
We were at Shiek Isa (We called it Shakys Pizza) in Bahrain.
Just one scud hit, scorpions, and lots of lost sleep. I had a "pet" scorpion until the SgtMaj made me kill it.

I was with HMLA-367 "Scarface" for the 90/91 Gulf War. I spent time at Jubail and Tanajib airfields. I am pretty sure Camp 5 was the Olympic pool. What was the camp on the persian gulf. We went swimming there. The water was so salty you could just about lay into it and float. Then there were the fish that bit at your legs. Anyone try to map out your camps in Google Earth?

I have always been in flying squadrons but never really flew much, especially during the gulf war. I only flew out to repair downed aircraft. Anyhow, It surprised the heck out of me when I found Tanajib on the map and it was nearly a stones through from the
lace>Persian Gulflace>. I was doing security duty at that time, riding hummers and 5 tons with machine guns. I just kind of imagined that we were out in the absolute middle of the desert. Looking out into that mess of desert smoke and haze you couldn't tell what was desert and sky. Of course I could have asked if the ocean was over there but why would I if I thought I was out in the middle of no where.
