[Multikill777]

[chisinau15]

[RetroTony1959]

Sweet memories. I served there as a grunt with India Co 3/6 from 81-82 and then with Kilo 3/6 from 85-86

[TFHalo]

I love the quick time cadence in between. I actually used it when I was drilling my platoon in my NJROTC class.

[wyckedlady]

my husband is there!lol

[TheHappyjoy2011]

this is where im going

[djmtboggs]

ha ha morehead haha

[juneaudouglas42]

Do we get an extra ribbon for being stuck in the middle of no where?

[digital598]

@juneaudouglas42 its not in the middle of nowhere its right out side of jacksonville and richlands

[icuicyyy]

my dad served there and i got a cool tour

[mariojragucci2]

I wouldn't recommend going in if you are not married.

[20131k98]

[bofts]

[20131k98]

@bofts  i was there the same time as you,3/10 motor transport,went to beiruit in 84.semper fi.

[DAlby75]

Nice, you drove past my old Barracks 1/8 94-98 Thanks for the memories!

[dennistailor]

Good Movie!

I Miss this Place!!! IULC 4-09 OOH RAH!

[abab999ab]

been there :0(

[BluEyedCatastrophy]

thanks for this! I haven't been back since 2006 and I miss it like crazy.

[usmc846]

Ok so I never understood why lejeune is pronounced with a "R" in the name? When it ain't even spelled with a "R"

[oldstock1607]

Thanks for this...I haven't seen Camp LeJeune since the day I left it in 1995--and I never thought I'd WANT to again--but this was cool.

[SceneWannaBe24]

im doing my s.s project on this base. i wanna be a marine when im older so i figured id do my project on the marines. and this is wer ei ened up. anybody have info on this base? i mean like persnal info? okay that came out wrong to.

[EmBarkAgunner]

There isn't much to do outside of base. Everywhere you go will be surrounded by Marines. It's close to Camp Johnson which is where some of the MOS classes are held at. Admin gets the best barracks and the other schools are still in the old barracks. Tatts are expensive out there and everyone gets a moto tat there...It's not that fun in jacksonville, NC unless you know someone out there that knows the area and HAS A CAR!

[EmBarkAgunner]

I'm sorry it was Suppy school that has the nice barracks.

[fmrndiguy2005]

To sekangel88, J-ville does suck if you are a Marine stationed there. I was there from 2001-2005. Be careful, that place has a tendency to turn halfway decent single guys into alcoholics. Why? No single women in Jacksonville (Marine wives whose husbands are deployed don't count IMO). Sure, there are towns around Camp Lejeune that you can go to, but they don't like Marines. Not trying to sap your motivation for the Marine Corps, but that town was #2 on my list for reasons of getting out.S/F

[sekangel88]

How is it there? My classmates from A school, most of them are going there. Then the others are going to camp pennelton California. I am a Navy Corpsman and may go to camp LeJeune in the future and would like an unbiased opinion about how things are there and how hard it is to pass everything down there.

[4212fmj]

it's lejeune...just do it and be ok...take care of your marines and yourself, and learn what you can...i was a corpsman there in 95-97...have fun and stay outta trouble...cheers and God bless, Doc.

[number1son2]

My son 's there right now, well . he say's it's boring . As a father I'm really proud.

[rexandlef]

Ahaha! i got lost in the base two weeks ago. I found myself in the barracks area.. i guess? My friend was trying to tell me how to get out of there... Well anyway i enjoyed it much..

This place is fun becuz of the marines! *drools* :-p

[7cwalser]

this place is not fun, it sucks!

[rexandlef]

if youre a marine it sucks bad yes!

[BlackMesaProductions]

Home sweet home

[AltarRS]

Haha, that used to me my post.

[Skiddledee]

I am going to see my sister there in 3 days

[christianhhuber]

My cousin 2nd Lt. Tyler brothers was there for a while before being shipped to Futenma Air Station in Japan.

[aaron0313]

Q: What's the best thing coming out of North Carolina?

A: The 40 west.

[7cwalser]

very  true!

[THESOULbornold]

i hope nothing happens to my boy

[rippin86]

3:38... CPL Hurd was my SOI instructor Alpha company "Alphatraz" in may - aug of 2005

[taabshire11]

you are all way to nostalgic, I'm a grunt stationed here right now, I look out my window and I see the movie theater; my friends and I hate this place, thats why we drive at 200 miles every weekend to get away every weekend, the town is full of drug addicts, and the civilians in a 100 mile radius are dicks to marines

[aaron0313]

exactly!

[nashrew]

Yeah MARINE i understand how you fill, not much has changed around that town. but in 10-20 years down the road u might find it a lil interesting to see the place u hated back in the day. the civilians around all bases are usually the same. they have no respect. THANK You for taking time out of your life and filling the boots of your older Marine Brothers. GOD BLESS and Hang in there Bro. Rob

[jaghoff]

Reported to 1/6 on jan.1,1980. that night I took a cab into J-ville,wound up around court st. asked some jarhead "whats a movie-mate? he replied"Go in and find out, just like I did" I went in and some tattooed 40-somthin chick w/ bad teeth told me to take my clothes off and then she turned on a old 8mm porn flick and less than 5 min. later i was $40 poorer. When ever a boot newbie asked "whats a movie-mate? I replied"Go in and..................

[cammmodotorg]

Be sure to check out today's report on the lies told to Camp LeJeune soldiers and their families about the tap water used on base and the consequences it is having on those who chose to serve their country. Learn more at site same as user name.

[aaron0313]

[HeatGuyJ2809]

[ssgtspeer]

im going there for rotc field trip, i hope im there for real one day

[HeatGuyJ2809]

the only thing is the town around it. very sleazy...

[sidharta5809]

This is the place we all wanna leave when we are there but also the place we wanna go back to when we are gone....I miss Camp Lejeune like crazy and I would give anything to go back over there

[MDforeva]

Camp lejeune base is a pain in the butt to get where you need to get since its HUGE. And the town is the boriest town ever. All they have is barber shop and tattoo shop every corner, also strip clubs and stuff like that for Marines. But also this town has the most good manner folks and Marines you would ever see.

[jmarine1981]

I was so happy to get outta there...but after seeing this i kinda wish i would've stayed in place hasnt changed much since i left but i miss all the friends i made there

[gjcinkc]

i was tyring to see how much it had changed and ran across this link. I was there with 8th Comm (alpha co) from 90-92, although we weren't there that much during that period. I haven't been back but would love to visit again. One roommate is now my brother-in-law and we keep in touch with a few of the gang. Many of good time with our crew of deginerates.Semper Fi.

[Muziclvr07]

Good ol' Camp Lejeune. I was stationed there from 79 to 83. (CommCo in French Creek) I went back to visit in 87, and haven't been back. I really miss the people I was stationed with who made it all worth while. Semper Fi Devil Dogs!!

[cuff1957]

[myhubs04]

[deliveryboy1]

ford mustangs everywhere.... everywhere

[FormerFemaleMarine]

I was stationed there from 1998-2001. I had some good times and some bad time but it made me a stronger women for every trial I went through. After seeing this video I makes me miss the friends I made and the weekend roads trips. But one thing i don't miss is the 5:15 PT formations. LOL

[SgtAnderson72]

This is a wonderful video. Was stationed there and as crazy as it sounds, I miss it. Im sure it wouldnt take long to want to leave again if I was moved back on base though. LOL ;)

[corpsman89]

jacksonville made me an alcoholic

[plusbabs]

My son left there for combat training today, my Father was there in 44'. Semper Fidelis

[redneck0311]

Yeah I hear ya, I have been out for 5 years...I miss all the friends and the fun in barracks of Camp Lejeune.

[pacione2002]

Never thought I'd miss it but after being in 29 Palms for the last 4 years, makes me wanna go back! Gotta luv some of those signs along the fence by Midway Pk! Semper Fi!

[shyshy503]

[mferguson1281]

I really can't say that I miss this place at all.

[updown454]

[redheadgeek1]

[christianhhuber]

My cousin, 2nd Lt. Tyler Brothers is stationed there.

[primeralives]

Wow! What a blast from the past. I was there in 1980-82 with I Co. 3/6 by swoop circle on "K" St. Hey,does anybody know if Court St. is still kicking with all the seedy bars and clubs?

[formula112967]

hey prime, started my 4 years there in 1985, court street was a hotspot then, but i heard and read on the net they shut down the street and put city hall there with a police station.

Semper Fi brother, check out my videos, its me in the firebird, my freind in the mustang.

[JesusChick118]

My dad was there from 1986-1992. I was born there.

[cuff1957]

[BoundtoYeshua]

Semper Fi buddy. I was there from 1980-1982 with India Co. 3/6 on "K" st. right by swoop circle. Use to go to the big base theatre all the time and Court St. had joints like "birdland","tino's" and "Speedos" I also use to go to the Cardinal Theatre on Lejuene Blvd. Really miss it and heard it's all changed now. I also miss Camp Schwab in Okinawa.

[rexandlef]

i love that place lol the buildings suck hard...but i love marines..in fact they love me too..:P

[yomamma6]

dude I hate this place, i can't wait to get stationed else where.

[joshleasure]

I was a kid when my dad gave 20 years to the Corp. We used to live up on Maryland Ave for a couple of years and I will never forget the return of the Marines after Desert Storm.

Semper Fi

[derekdugan]

I been there in 1996.My name is Yulian Dimitrov.There have traning exersizes.Cooperative osprey.

[Seiku]

I lived many years there

[biloreal]

that place sucked ass, but I gotta admit, I have a fondness now for forest regions. Im from sierra 5/10, it sucked, and I would never go back.

[e4rebakerusmc]

Good to see the old base. I was with A 1/8,in Desert Storm. Nice to see my old barracks too. Almost like a time capsule. SEMPER FI TOO ALL.

[frankc7744]

haha good ole Camp Lejeune, I fucking hated it then but now I miss it. 3531 96-00

[riceUSMC]

fuck that place.. hahah

[semperfiwife]

as much as i hated it, i miss our first home.

[Partain68]

Thank you for the video. It was nice to be able to see the base. I was born at Lejeune in 68. In 2007, I was diagnosed with male breast cancer at the age of 39. I do not carry the heriditary BRCA markers and the disease is nowhere else in my family. During the time of my mother's pregnancy, we were exposed to VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the base drinking water. The contamination ran from the 1950's until March 1987.
