Third Platoon '91 till shutdown. I roomed with Mike Benson,  Rusty Garrison, and Ty Lewis. I have an original picture of third platoon by the sign with names (have to take the frame off to see it). I also have the license plate off the company truck hanging in my den. I was one of the last 10 Marines sent to Pearl Harbor Guard Company when West Loch was shut down. I also know Mike Benson who painted the warrior picture that was on the deck by the company entrance. I also have a full picture of the whole company on the dock with an LST? in the background. I have a lot of pictures including a trip to Maui to do a hump inside Mount Haleakala.

I have been told that the place was closed down. It broke my heart to actually see it in writing from so many Marines that were stationed there. I started as a Pfc. in 1985 and left as a Cpl. in 1988. I see Kucera, McClelland, Flood, have dropped a line, I remember all of them, really good Marines. Has anyone heard from Mike Hernandez? was there the same time frame as myself. I stay in touch with Kim Oehler, and Steve Kidwell. Would like to hear from anyone, drop me a line if you want .
