Barracks duty

[ggyoung]

Looking for all Marines who have had Marine Barracks duty. What barracks where you at and when. I was at Marine Barracks Naval Ammunition Depot, Hawthorne, Nev. It would have been very good duty if not for my ***** wife. Also for the Mineral County sheriff, they could not take a joke. Just because they had me on radar doing 135 mph in a 35mph zone. Had a 1968 GTX.

Corporal M I think you are possibly confused on the difference between standing guard or DNCO and the actual Marine Barracks that guarded Naval assests. Most of the Marine barracks are gone now so the new pepsi generation refers to anything guard duty or DNCO as barracks duty. This was not always the case.

I stood every post at Moffett and it's strange to think the Marine Barracks is long gone.

EDIT: didn't realize I'd already posted in this thread...I'm daft.

[MatthewP]

I was not a drinker. I had a girl friend in Haddonfield NJ and went to see her when I was not on Escort. I lived in Mayfair NorthEast Philly. My Father dropped me off at the west gate one night. I said it was a long walk to the Barracks. I made himdrive me around to the front gate. On togetherweservered you will see pictures of the main gate, I copied from leatherneck mag.

Matt

[MatthewP]

Do you remember SGT Wright of the Escort section. He and another would go to TUN Tavern. Beat up 20 sailors. Had Captains Mast at the Navy Captains home up the street. The Capt would as the sailors what happened. They said 2 Marines beat up 20 Sailors. The Navy Captain was so embarased, he dismissed the whole thing.

Or at least that is what I heard.

Matt

[corporalpizza]

There were a couple of guys named Wright when I was there. I dont remember them as being the NCOIC of Escort. I remember an old Gunny who had lost on hand and wore a hook in place of his hand. He eventually proved that he was able to do everything required of him with the hook, so he was able to stay in. That is why we called him Gunny Hook.
I have heard the story of two Sgt's taking on twenty sailors, but I dont think there were ever twenty sailors in TT II except for WAVES. They nurses were always welcome, especially the one we called MoScoosh(?)

[MatthewP]

Do you have a regular email address?
Remember when you were on night watch in the Escort Office. Girls would call and talk to you all night. I do not know if any of the guys met up with them.

Matt

[MatthewP]

When the USS Saratgo and when the USS Enterprize came in to be refitted there were a lot Sailors around. I used to drive around in my 1968 Buick Skylark and splash rain water on their White Uniforms.

I remember running to Blind Mans every day for lunch. Each guy gave me enough money to buy lunch for myself. In the 23 months I was stationed at the Yard, I only ate in the messhall once or twice.

[MatthewP]

I live in Erial New Jersery. Give me a call 856-232-4606

Matt

[corporalpizza]

Matt, I live in Hammonton and I work nights, so this weekend I will give you a call. One Sgt did meet up with one of the girls. She was about 300lbs, but he liked them big. I forgot all about Blindman's!
Maybe you remember my car; it was a '67 Dodge RT, bronze. Before that I had a white '63 Galaxie. One of the guys in Escort used to have a '67 gold Mustang that he would lend out when he was on an escort. His name was (i think) Smokie Taylor. Forgot where he was from.

The Treasure Island Marine Barracks was due for an I.G. in July of 72. I was given a choice N.S. Long Beach CA, Hawthorne NV & N.A.S. North Island.
