I just looked at its map. A weird looking place. It is shaped like an outline of a sunken island. Have you been there?

No, I have never been there but I was involved in sending missiles there and was honored to be selected as one of the three Combat Crews to turn keys and launch one there. Our team (Ops and Maintenance) did so well one of our three targets was a water tower and we hit the base and toppled it.

I was a telemetry site chief and Principle telemetry specialist there. Fun place to live.

Kwajalein was the WWII site of a major battle in the island hopping campaign.

A fierce fight for the Marines and Soldiers who landed there and a hard fought win.
