I was stationed at the Marble Mountain Air Facility, MAG-16, H&MS-16, Avionics Shop, from January, 1968, to December, 1969. I was on my second extension when I left Da Nang. I enjoyed your photos but they were taken after I had left. We still had matting in the parking areas for the helicopters and no concrete covers. Brings back a lot of memories.

>Wow, I know a few men who were involved in this war. A close friend of the family was in the first wave. I cannot explain how much I appreciate your sacrifices. My fiance and brother are marines and are both deploying this year. So I feel a sense of closeness to your blog…

“The Suck”
is a term every Marine knows well. It’s the tough days, the grueling moments,
the situations that push you to your limits, and then some. But more than just
enduring, Marines learn to embrace “The Suck” as a badge of honor, a testament
to resilience, grit, and camaraderie.
