  • WTF!! I'm glad i only drank beer while i was there

  • The water is still tainted. Camp Lejuene has the highest lead content in their water in our country. They also poison is with Hexavalent chromium and a number of other things. Welding residue is a noteable one. Many many things they have known about for decades. The command and the politicians behind them are cowardice morons. They won't even fess up to it. Problem still persists.

  • i was born on camp lejeune and didn't even get special mutant powers. just a malformed cock : (

  • the fucking water still is shite

  • @banhmiso1 im glad to have lived "off base" in an apartment with my wife , but chances are during our training iI probably drank some of that "tainted" water, only time will tell if i get sick

  • I couldn't care less about the toxins, the water TASTES like complete shit. Atleast if it tasted good i wouldnt care too much but the taste literally makes me sick to my stomach.

  • semper fi

    

  • i lived there in 1996 during hurricane bertha; i had no idea. maybe i should get myself tested. (i'm not making light of the travesty)

  • Well man, mainside and all that on-base houseing to the left as you go off mainside, is definatley the closest place to that spot where that cleaner was. good ole lejune Blvd . Was nothing but strip bars, pawn shops and dry cleaners. still proud to be a Marine though. If they knew they should be charged. Lot of good people went through there

  • No I was at Mainside and French Creek, but I think something was wrong with that water also. That's how the military treats its soldiers

  • no i was in French Creek.
