Holy Moly Great Memories!

I was on The Rock in 1985 ,HQ Btn Comm Co Radio Ptn

I stayed in one of the barracks' directly across from where the video is being taken. Behind us was the EM chow hall ( since moved), and then the world's greatest beach. Did anyone ever explore the caves on base ?

[caldwdo]

Yes, right outside the club. Good food as I remember which was several yrs ago now. Great view of the camp and ocean.

LOL This video must be old. I work in that first building you see at 0:15 and you can't even see the building number on it anymroe

I remember living in those little barracks back in 86-87. They had roaches really bad. Still, I have great memories of my time there. In '87 they closed the messhall for renovations and served all meals at the e-club.

I lived at Camp Courtney in 67/68.

We lived in the barracks along the street that

ran from the Main Gate.

We worked at the warehouses in Rex Area.

Lot 50, outside storage, was my area.

We were TAD from Foster.

[caldwdo]

Semper Fi, Marine. Lots of Marines are seeing their old haunts on Okinawa. Not for long as many Marines and their families will be stationed on Guam in the future.

@2channeltv I was there in 97-98 and I was in HQBN H&S Co. Motot-T Maint. I really miss being in Okinawa. It was probably the best year of my life. Maybe I can go back one day.

[leemonical]

I was there in 87-88, and that first squad bay when you start your pan at the beginning was where I lived; I see the ANGLICO barracks next door got torn down. The hill you stood on to film was where the E-Club was and we used to do belly flops when the grass was wet and we felt a strange need to get to the barracks in a hurry!

Thanks for the memories!!

[caldwdo]

The club is still there, if I had done a 360 degree turn you would have seen the building. I went there a few times for lunch.

[geminisandiego]

OMG! It looks the same as when I was there in 1986 -87. The fenced off area was barracks for WM's and E-3/below. I also remember a jet fuel area on the beach.  Is that still there?

[caldwdo]

Good for you. The camp had changed a lot for me, but then it's been 35 years since my first visit.

[caldwdo]

Thanks for watching, Marine. It's nice to be noticed in cyberspace. My memories go back 35 years just when the Okinawa was reverted to the Japanese.
