Although the field on the right side of MCRD has changed substantially, the main buildings haven't changed at all...the group on the left have the longest breezeway I've ever seen. All joined up and they look like you could shoot a long range qualification from one end to the other...must be at least 800 yards.
I watched my son Jeff march that parade deck!
Congrats on that milestone Bill, those are proud moments. I took a body of troops down it myself in '84...just before a grad. Then we observed a the grad. Then off to the poison oak infested hills behind the new Navy hospital in Pendleton. Here's a pic of us just after the parade...I'm on the left wearing the wrong pants belt...
Sharp troop. Or as they said in my day, "STRAC" :)
