VMA332

In response to Cpl. C.E. Walters 6441, I was in VMA332 first time around in 1968 when we flew the A-4’s.  In July of ‘68 we started the transition to the A-6 and became VMA(AW)332. Please enjoy the photo of the last known squadron picture of VMA332 and the photo of the Avionics Shop.  After attending A-6 schools either at Oceana, VA, or Whidbey Island,Wa, most of us ended up with VMA(AW)533 at Chu Lai in early ‘69, Then on to Iwakuni, Japan in late “69-‘70. We are having a reunion of 533 Marines this May 20-22 in Vegas. read more

Seeing Stars

The Company Commander and the Gunny were in the field.
As they hit the sack for the night, the Gunny said: “Sir, Look up into the sky and tell me what you see?”
The C.O.said, “I see millions of stars.”
The Gunny then asked, “And what does that tell you, Sir?”
The C.O. replied, “Astronomically, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me God is great, and that we are all small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it tells me we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Gunny?”
The Gunny slowly shook his head and said, “Well Sir, it tells me that somebody stole our tent!” read more
