I spent a year there while 1/4 performed aggressor duties for all of the units that rotated there for training. 29 Palms was pretty good duty for a grunt. Live fire ranges as far as the eye could see. Lots of interesting interaction between salty 1/4 China Marine Grunts and the comm weanies and cannon cockers in the E Club. I'm proud to say that my son is a squad leader recruit at Parris Island right now. He is headed to 29 Palms to become a Data Weanie. I can't wait to go back and see him. |

I was across the sand pit/next door at A/5-20IN MAY97 to MAY00, was a 240B Gunner. I/we was along to "play" with you guys on the Panama rotation (Alpha 5/20 was attached to you guys to act as OPFOR). Was/am friends with one of 1/5's, at that time, Commo NCO's (SGT Clapham, L.), who I'm still in touch with. He was on that Sinai rotation with you. Salute Brother! |

Cool bro, I knew of SGT. Clapham and even have him in one of my barracks videos (he was on CQ that night) where some buddies and I were running around drunk causing trouble, lol. He just told us to keep it in our rooms and didn't say a word to anybody else about it. He's definitely cool in my book ht
Thanks for serving!! Mike |
