Hi, I was the armorer at MB NWS Concord CA and would like to hear from others. Remember when the real hippies demonstrated against the war (back in '65)? Wasn't that great! Remember pulling them over the white line? As I was also a cross country chaser, would like to hear from the other marine. Sorry, can't remember your name but you will remember when we first saw Portsmouth Naval Prison. Scared the hell out of us didn't it! Yep, the real Red Line prison.

Had The joy of spenting three years (63-66) at Concord, as a Naval missile tech in building 93, Bravo Area. Spent the my first three months there as a mess cook in the Marine /Navy chow hall. And over the three years, spent a few long hours standing watch in the guard towers on the Marine's birthday. Was dis-charged in August of 66. Had the joy(?) of leaving the base by having to walk though all of the peace(?) niks. Was on the base a few weeks earlier when the Hell's Angels poured a few gallons of white paint over the protesters.

Gung Ho to All!! Col Adams (was a Major then) is here in Hawaii serving in a "G" shop at Camp Smith. He was the CO of CSSG-3 at Kaneohe Bay. Did a bang up job there.

Am currently a K-9 Explosive Detection Handler at the Honolulu International Airport. My oldest is a Sgt of Marines in 1/8. Youngest has a band (National Product) and does modeling / acting and Real Estate (go figure) as side jobs.
To all, Semper Fidelis & God Speed / Love.

Paul D. Adams Colonel, MCSF, 1989 - 1992
PAUL91103@aol.com
To all former Marine Corps Security Forces Marines during the period 1989-1992, greeting and Semper Fidelis. My tour at MCSF Concord was a highlight of my now 26 years of service. I enjoyed serving with every Marine during that period, and pray God is blessing you one and all. I have been back aboard the station twice since 1992, and it is sad to see the deterioration of the MCSF area and the obstacle course we so painstakingly installed. But evolutions such as Boggs Mountain training, the humps all over the station, the helicopter training and training at Ft. Ord made every day memorable. God bless you all.

To all of you Marines who were stationed at Concrod in 89-91, or close too it, I have made DVD's out of the video that Major Adams made in 90. This video was a 10 minute video of the guard force and what their duties were. The DVD also has some bonus footage of Bill Bodette on Dave Letterman, and also myself and Lawnie Hess skydiving and bullriding. Lemme know if you are interested in getting a copy of this DVD. Blue Skies and Semper Fi.

Greetings my jarhead friends! I was among the first group of squids to assume security duties at nwsc. Played football for and with Gunny Stembridge. First day as a marine's alpha (Singleton was his name) in area 26, that knucklehead protester had his legs taken by one of our trains. Looking for l/cpl Tim Check or anyone who played ball for the NWSC Cougars.

I served in 1st Plt from 1989 to 1993. I’d be honored to hear from any Marines which I served with in Concord. I currently live in Meridian, Idaho. My tour at Concord was one of the greatest opportunities of my life. Of the 8 years, 9 months and 11 days I served, only the Marines from Concord have I keep contact with. Take Care.

Would love to hear from anyone who I served with. Finished up my tour in Hawaii with 2/3, Wpns Co., 81's Plt. However, Concord was probably the best time of my life. The only people I keep in contact with were from MCSF CO. We had a reunion in Ohio in June 2003. Those in attendance were myself, Brian Bahlau, Brent Amos, Rick Scherer, Derek Martz, Garrett Long and John Christian. It was a great time. We are planning a trip to Concord for a reunion sometime in 2005. Semper Fi.

Served with the Navy from 87 - 92 at Concord, hung around with Cpl. O'toole and Lcpl. McClellan mostly. You may remember me as the sailor you could always find at the gym. Never made it into OCS, but did pretty well anyway. If you remember me, let me know.

Jacob.Fizer@samhouston.army.mil
I have to say I have never served with better than the Marines at Concord. I was one of the few that stood the last post in the limited area. Also, was in the ceremony to retire the colors. The beer did flow and the party went on for a week. I go back often and my brothers we are not forgotten. Would like to attend any reunion, just let me know.

Ron Brandon, Cpl, 1988 - 1990
ron@brandon.net
White and I took a drive onto the old post last year to reminisce but the (civilian guards) wouldn’t even escort us on base to take a look around. The old Port Chicago Hwy is closed so you can’t even cruise by the old Q area anymore either. We were sort of bummed out. I was going to moon anyone on Post 13 or 14 from the road…
That reunion sounds great for 2005. I live in Sacramento now. I’d love to say hello to anyone that remembers me. I have pictures and hand written notes from my time there too. Some of them I wouldn’t mind sharing.

Looking for any Marine I served with there at the weapons station Mid 68 - January 1970. Was an MP sgt, in charge of base security, great bunch of Marines that served there during that time. Many of us that had served in Viet Nam, were offered an early out because the Marine Corps was cutting back. Looking for any pictures of the em club there, remember one night after leaving that club, taking my wedding ring off and throwing it across the parking area into the wildlife preserve there, one of those great accomplishments in life while stationed there.
