    Default What unit were you in?

    Fr those with military service. Give us an idea of what unit or units you were attached to and what they were about.

    Fir me it was VMCJ-1 and 2

    ! was stationed in Japan but we flew our missions over Nam and 2 was stationed at Cherry Point NC.
    I still own this one.



    Yes we were known as the Playboy squadron.

    And heres what I worked on

    Phantom RF-4B

    I think I worked on almost every one of these the Marines had being I was in two of the three squadrons who operated it and as you can see from the link they were moved around. I jnow I certainly worked on everyone in those two squadrons.



    I was a Marine Aviation Photo Electronics Tech. If it had anything to do with photography I did it. We also handled installed and fixed all the computers and cameras in our aircraft. We also made the composite maps from the photos our planes took. I was told the the Airforce used 29 seperate MOSs to do the same job we did. I think there were less than 100 people in the Marines with my MOS. We were a tight knit group.
