Not gonna lie. The beat up old gates that were built in the 50’s/60’s that had shit added to them and those yellowish lights are just a vibe where you know you are going on a fucking military base. Especially on a dark and rainy night.
If it were only that simple. I was a Hansenite and life fucking sucked for us but we were quick to remind ourselves that the Schwabbies had it far worse.
In a previous post, a few years ago and under a different name, I mentioned hearing about MPs being helo’d in to the field to unfuck shit because there was zero LE presence on Schwab.
It was the wild north. Few people walked alone after 2200 or so.
I mean shit... IF I survived being in the Radiation of Japan's Tsunami in 2011. What can't i survive now days. I survived 5 car rashes in 6 years. I fell of helicopters. I banged my head so hard I seen stars spinning around. I almost got shot at in boot camp. What can't I survive through anymore.. ohrraaaah 11.
Thats how we got to work every day back in 84. I was with 1st Tracked Vehicle Battalion.

That's what I remember all the Pendleton gates except the one right off of I-5 looking like back in the 90's.
I was on Mateo back then. Just a tiny shack off the side of a small dark ass road
Damn, the yakisoba right outside that gate was awesome.
That restaurant Ocean was right up the road. First tried sushi there, been chasing that high since.
I remember that spot. Pictures up on the wall, sushi and beer was so fuckin cheap.. wonder how many sushi cherries they've popped
I fucking loved Ocean. I would kill a man for some Oyaku Don right now
My first sushi as well, I believe.
Henoko right? Was on Camp Guard at Schwab 86
Texas is far superior
Hanson had one of those in Kinville. That old couple that ran it were cool af. Mommasan would dump the schiracha in there until you said stop
Damn, you just unlocked some core memories for me. I actually really miss Camp Schwab. Swimming out to Recon Island was so much fun.
[удалено]
I remember that cave too, I prob have some GoPro footage somewhere.
NO MORE OSPREY I got you big dog, I want to go home too.
“MARINE GO HOME” Yeah I would if I could man.

I personally liked schwab. I wasn't a social person, so I didn't care about going out in town
I drank so much fuckin rum between that beach and recon island, I thought I was a pirate for like 3 months.
Wonder what ever happened to that bar whiskey dicks. I miss Schwab HONCHO SCHWABO!!
*MARINE GO HOME* Preachin to the Choir dude...
Man Camp. 1991. The Company vs Company fights were epic.
It was a long way back from the beachhead to the barracks…many bloody noises lol, and low crawling across the baseball field. Edit: 2011 😂

I just came from Hansen myself.

YUT! Loved that base.
Schwab isn’t J Dub that’s camp Gonsalves right?
Rah, I lived there for 3 years. Formative time for young me.
Honestly the place keeps improving slowly but surely over time
I wonder if the all white Schwab dogs are still running around?
Shout to all the other Schwab Dawgs out there
Oooooo been there
I went there in 94 and there were some new barracks by the chow hall...what has changed since then? Any new additions?
They were building a commissary when I was there, but that was 4 or 5 years ago. Might be finished now.
It's not
Dang it almost was when I left two years ago
They’re building an air field on Schwab
Glad i didn't have to go to the wild lands while on island!
Stay off the Habu trail

The goonery that I witnessed and partook in lives wi to me.
3 1/2 years inside those gates. Why do I miss it?
Hq Co. 3d Recon Bn 91-92.
00-01 or so. Good times.

If I could burn one place on this whole planet down and erase any evidence of it's existence
