Ah! Finally the new Hooches! Built by the Sea Bees and a very welcome relief from the old tents. When the sun was shining, that was practically every day, the old tents were so hot you could pour peanut butter like honey! The new hooches were cooler and much better to live in than the tents. This first photo shows one of the first hooches with the corrugated metal roofs in the far left of the photo. |
In these next two photos you can see the ,“Office”, HQ’s building behind the group cutting the Marine Corps Birthday cake. I'm there on the right, next to the cake. I was chosen because I was the youngest Marine at the dump. The second view is from the main road that intersected the dump. "Club Lanier" is next to the lower right corner of the photo. |
These four photos will hopefully give you a feeling for the new hooches. |
Two nice views of the new hooches you can see marble mountain in the background. (Joe Capozzo) |
