Seper Fi Hemlock. I was thinking about starting a Corp thread since I saw so many jarheads on this site.
I was in 1975-82. Could have retired at 39. Should have stayed in. Did most of my time at 29 palms with 1st tank div. I was there when it started as a detachment back in 75. I think we had 5 tanks then. I was MT so we used to load up a few jeeps and ride out to Barstow through the upper desert and chase jack rabbits. Our training back then consisted of filling a jeep trailer full of ice and beer and go blow up 55 gallon drums of diesel and gas out in the desert. Back then we had M 48 tanks then a few years later we got the hand me down M-60's from the Army. It got real after that but I sure do miss it.

I humped mt motherfucker in MCT it was not that big of deal, just really fucking steep for a lil bit. The reaper hike was nothing but humping up the mountain playing ATT(reach out and touch someone) just about drove me to my wits end.

Yeah Toro's been closed for years, the soil got too contaminated so they moved the base. MCAS Miramar is the new home to the 3rd Maw as well as some training and HMLA squadrons at Pendelton. Smokinguns sorry to hear you got stuck out in the stumps. I did a 10 week stint there for Mohave Viper. Got stuck with security company, I will never go back.

a healthy dose of janitorial work.
