Borrowed, or blessed? Many did not get sick.

I left Jville a couple of months ago (am actually homesick). Lived across from the Beirut memorial with a little stream flowing by my apt. Water was still disgusting but mostly looked like rust. ??

Saw a bobcat and a fox following the stream. Also heard weird birds, maybe turkey? Loud and alien sounding. One really sick raccoon too, in the middle of the afternoon. Called animal control on that one.

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!"
