Hey all,
I was part of NMCB 62 from 77 -79 and deployed to Diego Garcia working at the Reindeer Inn and then the new galley. During homeport in Gulfport assigned to the Galley and then deployed to Camp Covington on Guam. The next homeport I was assigned to the BOQ Mess and transferred to Operation Deep Freeze Winter Over 80 right before the Rota Deployment. Got to the Battalion as a MSSA and left as an MS3. Awesome tour of duty.Had made alot of great friends in the battalion hope your all well.

This is for all Minutemen who were ever on one of the Dets to San Miguel, Phillipines. (and there were many throughout the years). A lady sent me an email and she has a embroidered shirt, made in the Phillipines during one of our many DETs to San Miguel.
Someone ordered the shirt and never picked it up. If you were on this Det and want the shirt, I have photos of the shirt and the ladies email address. Send me an email and I'll send you the email and the photos.

Also, there is still time to get your hotel room and register for the NMCB 62 reunion, Oct 2012 in Gulfport.
