1st Battalion 9th Marines, 1st MarDiv, Camp Pendleton, Ca

Dates...

1st Marine Division "Walking Dead". At one time we were going on 25 mile 'humps' every Friday! Damn. Other than that I don't remember much but holding sick call in the mornings. The Future-Ex and I got back together. Lived in Oceanside for awhile before getting housing in Camp Pendleton.

Bought a Commodore Vic-20 'for the kids'.

My son, Jack LeGrande, was born at the Naval Hospital on Camp Pendleton.

Truck Company, 1st MarDiv, Camp Pendleton, Ca

Dates...

When I re-enlisted in Truck Company... Mostly remember sitting in sick bay for many many hours! Had a HM3 working for me that disappeared every day from 2-3. Turned out he was watching "All My Children" in the barracks. Was hooked on it!

Did like riding in the big trucks though. Our motto: Truck it or F**K it!

Re-enlisted for the 3rd time there...
