Very familiar with the Camp Lejeune/Jax, NC area. I was stationed north of there at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Havelock, NC, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing for several years back in the mid/late 80’s, early 90’s. In btwn 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, and Havelock where the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing Air Station is...sits MCAS New River (MAG-26)...rotary/helo Base. As well, you have Bogue Field, which is an Auxillary landing field base for aircraft.
MCAS Beaufort in SC is a nice place as well, and it’s surrounding areas. Marine Aircraft Group-31 (MAG-31) which was under our control at Cherry Point while I was with Marine Wing Support Group-27 (MWSG-27), with four Marine Wing Support Squadrons (MWSS’s) fell under our command, as well as MAG-26 in New River, NC...all under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. Still the same way to this day.
I’m doing alright buddy...hope you folks are well your way.
