re: Any other former active duty Marine or Sailor stationed in Barstow?

While not directly stationed at Barstow I have been stationed at 29 Palms a bunch both at CAX and with STA 1/7 so I have been to Barstow before. It sux. My first experience with 29 Palms was a training exercise when I was a boot with Kilo company, 3/2. Our unit left Lcpl Jason Rother in the desert and didn't report it until 2 days later. He was likely already dead by then. Several court martials over that ordeal.
