Our Barracks was officially titled Marine Barracks Guam, M.I. I was at Guard Company, Naval Magazine, Guam, M.I. We also had 4th Platoon, NAVCAMS  ( I can't recall what the acronym stood for). Any info would be great. I believe that the NAVMAG shut down around 91.

I was with the Guard Co. NavMag, 1st Plt., then later 3rd Plt.   I recall reading somewhere that the Naval Magazine was closed down on 10Nov92, after being operational for nearly 100 years.  Interesting date they chose to close down shop.

Got there in 1954 a Pvt. Left a Cpl. 1956.  I have a center page containing pictures from our newspaper the MARINE COURIER  10 Nov. 1955 of most of us that were station at the MB from the Col. to the Pvt.'s.  I left them large so that you can see our face's in case you ran into one of us later on in the corps. E-mail me if you want to see it. SEMPER FI

Well police Sargent Guard Co. mid 1984 till I left in 1985. The best duty station I was ever at. Does any one remember Captain Anneal Morris? or Sargent Paul Ojalla? Two Great Marines. How about Col. Miller?

Bryan Dorland Sgt., Guard Co., 1st Plt., 2 / 1984 - 10 / 1985
junk.dorland@earthlink.net

I was stationed on Guam right out of boot camp. I served in Guard Co. 1st Plt., then worked for the Co. 1st Sgt. during my tour on Guam. After Guam, I went to Echo 2/5. Finished up my 4 yr tour as a grunt sgt.

Hey Cleek! I remember you. I think I remember the name Chasseur as well. I remember Capt. Morris very well--good guy. He was covered head-to-toe in scars after he had been pulled from the collapsed barracks in Beirut. Anyone remember the sgt. from 1st plt. who was killed in an accident? Sgt. Morris?

I remember runs at 4:30 AM through the controlled area with the whole damn platoon reeking of liquor. I also remember falling in love with a blond stripper from "Club Dallas" in town. Anyone remember how the Guamanian SSGT who was Plt. Sgt. prior to SSGT Hardy used to poach deer during duty and drive into town and sell the meat? And SSGT Hardy saying "croat-uncroat" while making quote signs in the air with his fingers? Ahhh, those were the days.

I was stationed at the Naval Magazine from 7/91 to 11/92.  I was a Lcpl at the time.  I remember having a big ceremony in the "LA" when we were closed down.  I went to 3/7 in 29 palms after that and got out in 06/94.   One thing I don't miss is washing all of the caribou shit off of the vehicles.

I was in the building right below the Navy barracks.  1st Platoon across the street.  I remember the stories of Tatamona, and hearing the booney pigs squealing.  Booney stomping and cave diving on off days was a blast.  Sgt Piccionetti was cool.  LT/CPT Royal Mortenson, SGT Ritz.  Corporal Cory.  Can't remember too many other names off the top of my head.  Would love to hear from anyone there at that time.

I (Lcpl Cooley) served in Guam from 08/91 until its closure on 11/92.   I was in 3rd plt. (third herd) and worked at the naval magazine.   After its closure I was sent to 3/7 in Twentynine Palms until my four years were up. I got out a Cpl. in 06/94.

I was stationed at Marine Barracks Guam till it closed in 11/92 then went to E 2/5. Went there as a Lance and got promoted to Cpl. while on the island. SGT Griggs was the Platoon Sgt to begin with then we got Morgenstern. Plt. Cmdr. Was Capt. Higgens. Still keep in touch with Bourdeaux. He lives in Tucson AZ. We visit from time to time and drink Jim Beam and BBQ. Lots of good memories!!

Robert "Buzz" Cook, Lcpl, Guard Co NavMag, 9/87 to 3/89
bcook@holyfamily.org

Hell, I can't remember what platoon I was in...I want to say 2nd?  Do the names Dufort, Losnecki, Weinstock, "Chip" Labonte, Cary Demars, Mike Reed, or Andy Davis ring a bell??  I could probably name more, but I'll stop there.  I played on the barracks softball and flag football teams, both won the "Captain's Cup" in '88.  I remember post Mike Papa 2, roving around in the little white pickup and trying not to hit those damn water buffalo/caribou or hearing the frogs pop under the tires after it rained!!  I still keep in touch with Andy Davis, we ended up together at Lima 3/5 and Cary Demars.  Would love to hear from anyone who was there.

I was stationed at the U.S. Naval Magazine, in Guam from DEC. 1975 to March 1976. I would like to hear from anyone who was stationed there during this time period. I went over there straight out of I.T.S as a Pvt. and left a LCPL.

I laughed my butt off, reading Cook's message. Hitting the frogs in the MP2 vehicle. I remember all of those guys from Second Platoon. It was a lot of fun! The fiestas, field meets. Uncle Bob's for buckets of melon balls and brains.
