Back in the world of all night generators that dont keep you up except in yournightmares. Well there seem to be some real nightmares going down right in front of us , jobs going overseas, an economy based on the vulnerable and easilly changed oil prices, energy dependance, war in Irag, Very much like where we were in 65-70. The honor of the warrior continues to degenerate in the hands of these coorporate rats. Semper Fi Don't get fooled again.

Semper Fi Brothers. Wow, it's great to find a 5th Comm web site. My mos was 2831, radio relay repairman. Was in RVN with 5th Comm, from May '70 to Oct '70. I finished out my westpac tour with 7th Comm, on Okinawa. 5th Comm was actually decommisioned in Oct of '70 (don't know exact day), and hasn't been recommisioned. I was one of the last Marines at Camp Hoa Long. An Army Engineer unit moved in after us. Also spent time on 244, Monkey Mountain, and 950. Welcome Home to each and every one of you! I'll be in D.C. for Vets Day, and the M.C. B'Day. Hope to run into some of you there.
