Where Did The Time Go

Where did the time go? Only yesterday I was a snot nosed kid, deciding to join the Marines after watching the new TV show Gomer Pyle USMC. Well I did boot in San Diego. Platoon 1065 (honor platoon) 1st btn. Then Pendleton for ITR. Memphis (millington, tn) for electronics. Back to Pendleton, then Da Nang at Mag 11 vmo 2 then back here to the world. Anyway to treat myself I rode my scoot all the way to Camp Pendleton and San Diego, about 1300miles (one way). I had a good time overall, brought back a lot of memories, but as usual things had changed. My old squadron HML 267 was still there. Toured the facility. attended the EGA ceremony at Edson Range (didn't have that when I was in). Then headed south to Diego for a graduation ceremony. Probably best thing was, the D I's were calling me SIR! Donated a graduation yearbook to the base museum, and some photos. Anyway here's a picture of me under the REAL NCIS sign at Pendleton and HMLA 267 Didn't see anything on the walls from my era though.
