I was stationed at the Marine Barracks, Naval Weapons Station from April 1966 until
September 1967. Amazingly I was never on board TI. As part of our security work at the NWS
we traveled back and forth to all the Nayy bases in the Bay Area. We had trucks that carried
various weapons back and forth to those bases and we rode shotgun.
We had at least two Marines sent to TI for court martial. I also believe some of our Marines
took prisoners back East to the Portsmouth NH brig. They usually sent an East Coast Marine
to get them a free round trip home.
The Bay Area was a very active military spot back then, nothing much left today.
We had thousands of demonstrators at our base from time to time. Interesting time.
A great liberty location.
