I was stationed there in 1970 and1971. Marine air control squadron 2. There are no more air control squadrons, but our HQ and radar facilities were on Mokapu Rd. on the other side of the runway. We overlooked Pyramid Rock beach and basically had it to ourselves. Our HQ and motor pool buildings are still there but the radar site is all grown over like it never existed. Our barracks is still there on KBay Rd. near 5th St. right next to the mess hall. Hawaii was an absolute paradise.
Nice seeing the base again. I used to make friends with Marines (especially the boots) back in the 90s. Lost a couple of them due to Desert Storm. What I've learned from the many grunts I'd met, was the worst enemy of a Marine, which was loneliness. Semper Fi!
things have really changed. I was there for 4 and a half years in 1974, a gunnery sergeant, and what you're showing here is completely foreign to me. I never heard of Marine corps base Hawaii. I was stationed at MCAS Kaneohe Bay. I lived across the street from the SNCO club/golf course. I loved it. old school...
I was stationed there from 1975 till 1977 good station the only thing I didn't do was scuba diving and fishing and the people there were really awesome semper Fi.
Great memories, first duty station, thanks for the tour. We live in the Philippines but are planning to move to Oahu in a few years. I am a retired Marine and I hope you guys could help us out when the time come. God bless.
Had to come visit, where my childhood took place. Haven’t been there in 10 years, and mainly grew up on that marine base that we lived on for 8 years. Sadly they tore down one of the HOA base housings, I use to live in
I did 2 years in the army and 4 in the Marnes, I really would prefer to stay away from military bases. Your video reminded me of this guy who was in our platoon, he wanted to go" Over the hill " , he almost made it out the gate, he was dressed as a civilian, in Camp Pendleton , then he lost his nerve as he saw the gate's MP, man was I glad I had declined his invitation to join him in the escape attempt, he he he.
I wish that, instead of focusing the camera on yourselves, you spin the camera so we can actually see where you are driving. 75% of this video is of you..
You would do better to focus more on the base than your faces if you really want people to see what it looks like. I lived on that base for 3 years and didnt recognize anything, its changed alot since 1975-1978. Maybe you cant show more of the base than you did....

I was just at MCBH for my friend's wedding, and it is such a beautiful area. My friend is a surfer girl who thinks it is the best base to be at.
I’ve had the honor of staying here prior to a good friends deployment! It will forever be the best 15 days of my life!!!!
K BAY LOVED IT.
I was stationed there 76-78.
Beautiful location and weather.
Used to live there 5 minute walk to north beach. Best days of my life as a kid. 2020 B Brown drive :)

04-08 2/3 Golf Co. Great memories here. Can't wait to revisit!
Been long time since I seen the base. 1988-1991. Still best base to be at. Semper Fi
If u go by the E-club and numerous plants around the base, I more then likely puked in it lol
Same as a dependent
I was stationed there from 75-77. It's really changed since then.
I lived at MCAB Kaneohe back in 68-70 as a dependent. I was 7-9 years old, but I loved it.
I lived there from 01-09. It is crazy how much has changed
Lived up on hilltop across the field from the BOQ back in the late 70's, 525 Reeves Rd. only thing I recognized was the Officers club and the BOQ lol
Over a decade living on that base.... so many memories
I was at KBay 88-93, deployed for about half of the tour but loved my time there.
I was stationed there from 83 to 86.
Awesome on my way ✌✌😎
Was there 1974 l/cpl A 1/12 - 18 months.
Things have changed a lot,since I was there in 90 to 93.
Stationed there from 2005-2008- Kilo company 3/3 RAH!!

Very nice view of what families can expect. Where do the snuffles live? Grunts and air wing both have barracks there.
I was stationed there from 1980 to 1983 but only spent eight months on base because I did three back to back West Pacs
nice hawaii view💜
Liked k bay when I was there in 67
I was there from 67 to 69 assigned to VMFA 212. Very good duty, got spoiled there, which I realized after I was transferred to Camp Pendleton.
