Road Trip: Camp Lejeune, North Carolina

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is a 246-square-mile United States military training facility in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The base's 14 miles of beaches make it a major area for amphibious assault training, and its location between two deep-water ports (Wilmington and Morehead City) allows for fast deployments.

The main base is supplemented by five satellite facilities: Marine Corps Air Station New River, Camp Geiger, Stone Bay, Courthouse Bay, Camp Johnson, and the latest addition to the facility, the Greater Sandy Run Training Area.

There are several major Marine Corps commands and one Navy command aboard Camp Lejeune. Some tenant commands include Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, II Marine Expeditionary Force, 2nd Marine Division, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, and the naval hospital.

To help prepare warfighters for combat and humanitarian missions abroad, Camp Lejeune takes advantage of 156,000 acres, 11 miles of beach capable of supporting amphibious operations, 34 gun positions, 50 tactical landing zones, three state-of-the-art training facilities for Military Operations in Urban Terrain and 80 live fire ranges to include the Greater Sandy Run Training Area.

The base and surrounding community is home to an active duty, dependent, retiree and civilian employee population of approximately 170,000 people. The base generates almost $3 billion in commerce each year, coming from payrolls and contracts to support the structure required to train and equip our modern Marines.

Camp Lejeune is a six-time recipient of the Commander-in-Chief's Award for Installation Excellence. This award recognizes the base on a Department of Defense level for effectively managing assets and developing quality programs to accomplish the mission of providing expeditionary forces in readiness.

Schubert: "The Wanderer to the Moon", D. 870

sung by Barbara Hendricks with Rada Lupu on piano

[Publius]

Schubert: "Grave and Moon"

One of his very greatest male quartets. The part where the grave answers back is chilling.

Nice!

Are you in the habit of mooning people on FR, or am I “special”? LOL!

[luvie]

LOL! I hope it’s more a blessing than a curse. :)

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

Schubert: "Night Brightness"

For high tenor and chorus. The climax at 2:35 is a primal scream set to music.

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

Did you find an axle for your truck? Progress?

[Publius]

Luv set the theme. I’m just doing the variations.

My son is training at Camp Johnson right now. He told me today he’s graduating October 3rd., then will come home for 10 days. Then he will be stationed at Pendleton. I’m just happy he is not going overseas.

I saw the supermoon early this evening while I was walking the dog.

The sun had not yet set, it was full daylight, and there was a Hugh and Series MOON bigger and brighter than I had ever seen!
