Landed in Diego January '77 and left October 31 77. Hated the place. Current pictures don't give any indication of the "housing" quarters. About 1/2 way into deployment the lagoon was closed to swimming due to jelly fish (man of war). The ocean side was off limits for swimming. To this day I've had all the 'sandy beaches' to last the rest of my life. What a terrible memory.

Finally reacting to an impulse to reach out to anyone who remembers me from my days in the battalion. I served in the late '60's; retired from active duty in May 1987; have been residing here in Sanford, FL since that time. I arrived in 62 as an E-6 and left as an E-7; soon after made E-8 as an Engineering Aide. The battalion experience is one of my favorite postings in my nearly 28 career. Coming out of the fleet, thru nearly 3 yrs of active reserves and then reentering active service to crossrate to EA was one of the best decisions I ever made. I wished that I could have made the latest reunion effort in Gulfport just weeks ago. All the best to you who served NMCB-62 with honor!

Was stationed with Jim Evans on Diego Feb 77-Nov 77. My son who is now 32 was born one month after I arrived on the rock. Would love to meet more old friends. I miss them the most.
