    This is one movie I will always remember. We saw it between second and third phase of boot-camp on Paris Island. Can still remember the drill instructors stopping the movie half way through just to mess with us. Those were the days.

    Tustin was closed shortly after I got out in 94. Same thing, the helo's made to much noise. Whoever got it had their hands full. There was places on base that you could still smell the oil and fuel that had been dumped years before. I was wondering if they took out the blimp hanger's on tustin.

    I was stationed at mcas Tustin. I knew that Tustin had shut down, but didn't know about El Toro. I remember the air shows there every year, mostly the working parties picking up the trash afterwards.

    I agree. My father was a staunch Democrat . my mother a republican. After I was nominated to the naval academy by Byrd and Rockefeller I registered Democrat but after 4 years in the marines and twice over seas I found out real quick who looks out for America's best interests.
