Hey Sgt Grit,
I shot these photos late summer of 1968, flying out of San Diego. I was at MCRD for Radio/Electronics school.
The first shot is of the Quonset huts at the south end of MCRD; I was there for boot camp, Plt. 152, A Co., 1st Bat. The close proximity of the airport is obvious. I remember waking up to the sound of jet engines starting and the smell of jet exhaust.
The second shot is of the training area for bayonet (pugil stick) and obstacle course.
The third shot is of the grinder with a parade in progress. The noise of jet aircraft taking off caused us many squat thrusts or holding our M-14s over our heads because we didn't hear our drill instructors on the grinder.
