For you "older" jarhead; remember these?

I was posting some pictures from Beirut over on the BVA gallery and came arcoss a few pictures of the old open squad bays. We still lived in the squad bays when we left for Beirut, but returned to the new three-man rooms when we got back.

The rooms were nice, and the squad bays were old, but there was still something about the squad bays that is missed.

lotta over-seas bases still had squad bays when I was in. but we also got wall lockers that we could put in between the bunks. some 550 cord and a poncho and you got your own little room...

ahh, the fond memories of the 1st time wiping my butt in front of several other Marines also forcing out an MRE baby because the corps didn't think stall dividers were a sound investment.

worst was in the Dirty South... aka Korea. Damn Gomer Pyle huts. on field day, you have to wear a gas mask because of hanta virus in the rat turds.

That's a walk down memory lane, for sure.
