I thought Treasure Island was home to a Naval Station?
**I thought Treasure Island was home to a Naval Station?**
I thought it was as book about pirates!
Pirates are always trying to hide their treasure with false leads. Pirates are sneaky that way. Then again this is a British newspaper. (tabloid)
It was - I processed out there. Maybe they’ve had multiple names for all the islands until more recent times.
In any case - whomever buys it won’t be allowed to develop it. Such progress isn’t allowed - at least not without the appropriate cuts being paid.
I believe that is correct — and the article is wrong.
Yes.
He was a great guy (black, college grad) who'd enlisted as a 'two year man' and ended up with a Logistics MOS; we were all in some weird cadre unit at CamPen and he had nothing to do other than hang with us clerks and drivers....who also had no clerking or driving to do -- but due to his MOS, he ended up getting promoted and before long he was a Staff E-6 with less than two years in. He was pissed that he had to move to the Staff NCO Quarters and leave the rest of us peons.
I got out, but stayed in touch.....turns out he also got out but, being very religious, got back in as a commissioned officer in the Chaplain Corps......which was his billet when we visited him. Here was this Squid Officer, and T.I. was his world.
...Last I heard was that he left after just a few more years in, and we sorta lost touch.
Funniest thing we'd laugh about was his rocker with no hashmarks - unheard of, and probably pissed off a ton of Lifers.
The flat "island" is all fill and it was used to house navy/military families. My close encounter with it was asbestos litigation regarding the stucco and drywall used during construction and the resulting mesothelioma lawsuits.
Actually it was turned into a multi use facility during the base cuts in the 90s. That’s a different island, man made for the World’s Fair, then taken over by the Navy in WWII. This one is officially Red Rock Island.
