  • Hey guys, I'll be giving you a tour of the U.S. Marine Barracks on, Camp Lejeune, NC. Just keep in mind you're not guaranteed that you will be living in a newer barracks, you might end up in one of the older ones. But at least you have somewhere to stay. Hope you enjoy the video.

    My father was a Marine. He was strict on us (he and my mother had five girls) but gave us life lessons that we all keep to this day. I have MUCH respect for the Marine corps.

      I was at FC in the 1980s. The open squad bays had transitioned to rooms. The FC fitness center was a house full of gym equipment. Now it is a fully blown facility where you can walk everywhere as a POV is a luxury. Your home is not a barracks, it is now a college dorm.

    Wow! I was stationed at Camp Lejeune back in 1967 - '68. Then from 1969 (returned from Nam) to 1972.
    While writing this I heard you call a rack a bed and the head a bathroom 😂 I am happy the barracks we had back in the 60's in the 2nd Marines and 8th Marines area are now BEQs. As a former Company Gunny I was thinking of a Field Days and the Skippers Friday Inspection. Oh, you said closet. I yelled closet! I would have called it a locker. Did you say dumpster instead of shit can 😂
    All jokes aside, I am very happy our Marines are living good. Good job Marine. Semper Fi

At Camp Pendleton my barracks were built pre-WWII, two story wooden structures with open squad bays.

He's in the barracks across from the the chicken shack (chow hall) he's on his first MEU but I guess he will be back in the crap room when he comes back. He does not complain and he love living with his brothers. One thing I have noticed is grunts have a strong sense of brotherhood. And have each other's back 100%

    Jesus! What a great barracks. Was stationed at Camp Lejeune in 1965 with 6th Marines 3/6. Our living accommodations consisted of squad bays with bunk beds with a double wall lockers in between. No privacy at all. Communal bath rooms,eight “shitters” side by side with. Nothing like trying to take a dump with someone doing the same thing less that two feet from you with no partition between you. One big shower with maybe a dozen shower heads. Maybe 60 Jarheads per squad bay. Only E-6 and above had a small room.
    On payday nites we would take the “vomit comet”, the last bus back from JVille back to Lejuene and wake up the whole squad bay turning on the lites and and raising hell. What great freaking memories. Semper Fi.

      The catwalks were where all of the action were when off duty or weekends. It was the scuttlebutt, the horse play, the music, the grilling, the hanging your clothes off of the side to dry or boots out by the door the walking back and forth in between others rooms. The Clutter of furniture left out during field day And just letting off steam in general

    It’s good to see these great improvements being provided for our Marines. They are well deserved and should be the normal standard on every USMC base. I would hate to tell you how bad the living conditions were for enlisted Marines back when I served in 1968 thru 1974. Old Wooden squad bays, crowded with lines of metal bunk beds, flat soiled mattresses, no pillows, rusted & broken metal lockers, cold in the winter, hot in the summer, highlighted by gang toilets and showers that were WW2 vintage and difficult to keep clean…….how in the hell do you clean & polish a turd. Good old Corps.

    When I was in you might get one or two wall lockers. The beds were metal bunkbeds. You would have anywhere from two to four marines to a barracks room, and desks were not provided. I spent most of a year once in a quonset hut built in WWII. I also spent a chunk of 1997 in what was the newest barracks building at MCLB Barstow.

    I was there in 79' for combat engineer school. We hit the E Club almost every night. On one night my buddy had guard duty on the grave yard shift but came out with us anyway and got pretty wasted. Needless to say, he passed out on duty that night. No office hours our court martial for this boy. Our Gunny woke his ass up early that morning and him fall out to the parking lot. There waiting for him was a nice warm 6 pack. He had to chug one then run laps around the parking lot until he threw up. Then come back and get another on and so on. You get the picture. I'm 60 now but I love to reminisce with you youngsters.

Stayed that way for the 6 months I was there if you complained you got to walk Firewatch on the first floor.

    My husband left Camp Latrine (LeJeune) in 1975, when it WASN'T a luxury hotel. He wonders if the brass has ever cleaned up the toxic water wells Marines had to drink from for 18+ yrs., since they spend so much money on new barracks. He survived throat cancer in 2019, probably from that water. Two of our daughters were born with birth defects, again, from Camp Latrine water. The last Marine he talked to from LeJeune, told him the water there was still toxic. He has stated that more Marines have died from the toxic water there, than were killed in all of America's wars. And that's not counting dead dependents. So you could say my ex-Marine NCO has a love/hate relationship with the Corps.
