Road Trip: Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort or MCAS Beaufort is a United States Marine Corps air base located three miles northwest of the central business district of Beaufort, a city in Beaufort County, South Carolina, United States.

About 4,700 personnel serve at the station, and it is home to seven Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet fighter-attack squadrons plus two Navy F/A-18 strike fighter squadrons.

MCAS Beaufort currently hosts all active duty USMC F/A-18 air operations on the East Coast, aircraft and squadrons being assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 31 (MAG-31). The mission of MCAS Beaufort is to provide support as an operational base for MAG-31 and its associated squadrons, Marine Corps support units and tenant Navy strike fighter squadrons.

The mission of the Marine Aircraft Group (MAG-31) is to conduct anti-air-warfare and offensive air support operations in support of Fleet Marine Forces from advanced bases, expeditionary airfields, or aircraft carriers and conduct such other air operations as may be directed.

An additional Navy F/A-18 strike fighter squadron of Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic at NAS Oceana, Virginia is also homeported at MCAS Beaufort. The population of the on-base "city" includes nearly 4,000 active-duty service members and more than 700 civilian workers.

MCAS Beaufort's nickname is "Fightertown East". Fightertown's Hornet squadrons rotate overseas regularly, either for deployments for support, for six month Western Pacific deployments, or aboard Navy aircraft carriers. At any given time up to half the squadrons may be found at various points around the globe, and are routinely called into action.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!



The Star Spangled Banner – Verse Four
(Click)

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Please let me know by Freepmail if you would like
to be admitted to or released from my music ping list

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))..did you and Maddi have a great Monday?

It’s raining here.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, RoosterRedux...cool sign.

[luvie]

Howdy to you, too! (((hugs)))

Hope Monday wasn’t TOO awful! :)

[Soaring Feather]

Good evening, Kathy.

HUGS

[SandRat]

Good evening, Kathy...((HUGS))..Maddi and I had a great Monday.

It's clouding up her for an evening rain. We'll see what it really does.

[left that other site]

Well, i forgot to ping the Prayer Warriors to the Jerusalem thread.

Big mistake that I almost NEVER make. Grrrr.

[RoosterRedux]

Thx much.

Are you really in Alaska?

I want so much to move to Alaska.

I know I can make it because I watch all those Alaska TV reality shows.;-)

I can drive a tractor and...well, I can drive tractor and ride a horse.

That's not enough is it?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did Lynn-Dah sleep thru the night?

More thunder and lightning? It’s raining here and I have to go to Sam’s Club. My Mom wants a new mattress, so I’m checking who delivers and takes the old away.

[left that other site]

The “taking Away” part is very important.

It makes or break the deal, IMO.

More monsoons today, and Lynn-Dah is NOT amused.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv...I think the grands are wearing her out. She’s falling asleep before posting time. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Busy, busy day and now I have to find my Mom a new mattress. The side is breaking down and it is hard enough for her to get up. I’ve put a grab bar right next to the bed, but she needs some help from a firm mattress.

Did you sally forth today? Try walking? Weather? Rain is supposed to continue til midnight or so.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Have you started another mixer?

[luvie]

Ruh-roh! Hate when I do that! I’m sure they forgave you, though. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Ms Feather...*hugs*...any hummer activity today?

It’s raining here now.

[luvie]

Good evening, Kathy! I’m sure they have! That will be me next weekend! LOL!

Nite, Lauren....get your rest! More fun tomorrow, I’ll bet! :)

There is something I have always wanted to ask but for some reason never have.

When I was a kid in the 60s my home town of DeFuniak Springs, Florida held a Veterans day parade. It always went down Baldwin Ave. which is the main street.

Now Baldwin Ave. has a small zig zag but otherwise is straight. One year I was watching a band or maybe just a group of soldiers from Ft. Rucker marching.

When they came to the zig, each line of soldiers suddenly made a shift yet kept perfectly aligned until they then made the small zag to get back to the straight street. This was repeated with every file until the entire group had passed.

I thought to myself, “How did they manage that?” They made it look easy but it struck me as extremely difficult to manage.

Does anyone know what that maneuver is called? Is it really as difficult as it looks?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yes, I am really in Alaska.

Not quite enough skills if you want to live out of a town.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Poor doggie....lots of hugs from Mom are needed.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m off for Sam’s Club...back in a bit.
