HiYa Kathy
LOL! I spent about as much time there as I want to.
Son-in-law was stationed there for three years, so we got to see daughter and four grandsons fairly often (drove up and down the I-5 from Oregon many, many times!)
Now they're stationed at European Command, two years down, one more to go. We're hoping and praying that their next tour will be in SoCal (either Camp P., or MCRD again). Hopefully NOT Okinawa (again) or Guam (again)!

Look at this AZ. Pictures from back home!
As we hurtle through the first part of this new century, we see an increase in people questioning time-honored standards. This was plainly detailed recently by a teen pop star—a girl who professes faith in Jesus.
While discussing standards for modesty in how she dresses, she discounted criticism of her skimpy clothing by saying, “That’s so old school.”
This young woman is both right and wrong. In a sense, she’s right. The standards of dress for Christians are “old school.” They were written down more than 2,000 years ago. But her attitude that suggests ancient standards can be set aside is wrong. In the truest sense, the principles in the Bible are not “old” as much as they are timeless. While written ages ago, they are still fresh and applicable.
As to the question of modesty, when the Bible says women should “adorn themselves in modest apparel” (1 Tim. 2:9), it is still true today that we shouldn’t dress to draw attention to ourselves. A more general principle, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed” (Rom. 12:2), is a 2011 command that can guide the question of how we dress.
So whether you’re a pop star or a pew sitter, don’t worry about being “old school” if what you are doing is done according to the Book.
Read: 1 Timothy 2:8-10;
It's kind of a toss-up between spending hours in “the dirt” or puking in my gas mask.

LOL! The good old pit. We had the one right outside the chow hall. (3rd Bn.)
I remember being lined up AH2BB for shots at the Naval Medical Clinic, when one of our prives ‘mooed’ like a cow at the slaughter. Funny at the time, but oh, did we pay for that.
I didn’t have real problems with CS until Combat Engineer school at LeJeune. Total mask failure in a concentrated environment. My lungs stopped working for a while.
Not fun. Took the Engineer final that night anyway. I miss being young and indestructible. :-)
I worked directly across the street at Navelexsyscom for many years.
