I was only 10 years old, but I still remember the eerie feeling as the eye went over
Very interesting - that's how I remember Donna too (I was 13).
I was stationed at Lejeune late 60s and was married. Base housing back then was worse than a VN hooch, so we rented over in Hubert.
Why are they building more apartments? Do Marines now have a choice where they can live?
Back in the day (IIRC), you had to be NCO to move off base.

I think these apartments are designed mainly for families. Married enlisted can definitely live off base even if they have no children. Single Marines can also, but they can not get BAH unless they are corporals or above.
