I left Jville a couple of months ago (am actually homesick).
Are you (or were you) in the Corps? If not, why did you leave?
I got out in '69 (actually lived off base in Hubert) and went back to visit in 2005 while vacationing at Emerald Isle - a favorite weekend hangout for us.
Lejeune was essentially the same, but was quite surprised to find that Jville had exploded - "suburban sprawl!"

Have family issues here (temp-waiting for resolution). Moved down 1.5 yrs ago. I miss the Ospreys. For some reason I was content there. I don’t like the beach, love mountains but nothing bothered me. Here, I am claustrophobic with houses and houses and more houses from DC to Boston.

Maybe it’s a southern thing since Jville was the farthest south that I have lived. I did live in Spfld MO for 13 years but hated it except for the art.

When I moved down I stayed in Hubert for the first month. I like Maysville and Swansboro. I LOVE Havelock, but I am partial to jets.
