I HAVE ADDED QUITE A BIT OF MATERIAL TO "BACK TO THE BARRACKS" AND "ODDS AND ENDS" AND NOW MY NEXT PROJECT IS TO ADD A LOT OF PHOTOS TO THE SITE, AS MANY PAGES OF PHOTOS AS I NEED IN ORDER TO POST ALL OF THEM. SO THAT IS COMING UP SOON.

I ALSO NEED TO PUT THE PAGES IN ORDER IN THE COLUMN TO THE LEFT, THE NAVIGATION AREA.

FOR ALL MARINES AND NON-MARINES!  **** check out this book***** 

 

 

There is a book out now called Devil Dog Diary. I read it and it is great. It shows how little boot camp has changed over the years. The author went through in 1995. This is a must read, folks. 

Also, go to www.devildogdiary.com     

 

The author, GySgt Will Price, and I, have talked. He is at 8th and I, probably headed out to Pendleton at some point for his next duty station. He enjoys hearing from the "old timers" like us.

Bob Cashner had a massive heart attack and stroke Christmas Eve 2008 but will make a full recovery and is still in rehab for two more weeks as of today Feb 5th.

I looked him up the other day then spoke to his wife, Carol, who gave me the info. He apparently is in touch with Jim Park, so is being kept abreast of things.

Monterey Calif reunion Sept 2007 had a big Co G crowd there. Other reunions had very few of us, e.g. 2008 near Wash DC. and 2008 Portsmouth NH

If you have not joined MCCA you might consider doing so. See their site at Links page.

 

Colorado Springs reunion in 1998 had a turnout of Co G people totalling 16. That is quite a few, considering that at any one time, the number of Marines in Co G was anywhere from 46 to 50 people.
