H&S 1/7 Comm 1974-1980

In February 1976 a group of Marine Communicators came together at camp San Mateo near the northern end on Camp Pendleton California. Some were seasoned veterens who had just returned from Vietnam, Others came from Comm school at 29 Palms MCB. Still others were fresh out of MCRD San Diego or MCRD Parris Island. Though diverse in background training and ethnicity, they became friends for life, comrades in arms. These are the men, the stories and the picture that were one of the finest units the Corps ever knew.

UPDATE!

As of Sept 2006 there are 29 found, 28 enlisted and 1 officer, and 54+ unaccounted for. There are some new pics coming to the Yahoo group of the reunion. Please Standby        Please view the group pic and see if this will help you remember any new names.
