Marine Barracks Pearl Harbor Hawaii 1961
First time viewing your newsletter and I was excited to see this photo that was taken at Marine Barracks Pearl Harbor Hawaii.
I was also stationed at MBPH from 1978-1980. My C.O. was Capt Howard and our Company Gunny was Gunny McMahon. As I write this, names pop up in my head that I have not thought of in years and at the same time, I draw a blank on names I want to recall.
As I receive your magazine, I always stroll your patch section hoping to see if you have any patches from MBPH. Maybe one day!!! I’m going to search for a picture of myself standing in from of our Guard Shack that I think would make a great patch. I just hope you can create it from a photo.
I will get back to you as soon as I find it.
Semper Fi,
Andy Cariaga
Corporal 1977-1981
