About:

I added several hundred images November 4, 2011.  Enjoy...

SECTIONS:
1- Camp Pendleton, CA (May 1979 - Dec 1980)
2- Okinawa, Japan (Dec 1980 - Dec 1981)
3- Camp LeJeune, NC (Dec 1981 - May 1983
4- Fort Pickett, VA ( Late 1982 give or take...)

The images on this site were taken while I served in the Marine Corps from 1979 to 1983. They are predominately from my three major duty stations: Camp Pendleton, CA; Camp Schwab, Okinawa; Camp LeJeune, NC. During that time I served as an 1833 (AmTrac Crewman), 0431 (Embarkation NCO) and also went to Jeep four-wheel drive school, PMI (Primary Marksmanship Instructor) school and served at Company Clerk for a time while at Courthouse Bay in Camp LeJeune.

I bought my first camera because I wanted to show my friends back home what I was doing and what life in the Marines was like. I began shooting subjects that were documentary in nature. Pictures of lockers, heads, daily activities etc. While I had no technical knowledge about photography such as composition, exposure, depth of field etc, I did manage to come up with some interesting images. Remember, while almost everyone has a little digital camera with them now in the early 1980's, cameras were not terribly common. 

These early experiences lead me to pursue photography when I was discharged. I went to Eastern Connecticut State University for two years where I enrolled in every possible photography course and even taught an internship in black and white photography. In 1985, I transferred to Syracuse University where I majored in Photojournalism and the Newhouse School before switching to the College of Visual and Performing Arts. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography in 1988. 

I've worked as a photojournalist for eight years as both a newspaper staffer and freelancer. Some of my employers and clients included the Boston Herald, Boston Globe, Quincy Patriot Ledger, New Britain Herald and the Associated Press.

All these years I have kept the original negatives from my Marine Corps days and have now scanned them in my new Nikon Super Coolscan 5000ED at full resolution. I want to share them with anyone who has an interest in those days. There are many photographs of people I no longer know. There are friends with whom I have lost touch. It is my hope that these images will rekindle personal memories as well as lead to reestablishing friendships that are long lost. When looking at the photographs, if you see yourself or someone you know, let me know. Also, pass the link to this site to anyone you think might enjoy these images. -Semper Fi.
Equipment Used:

My camera was a used Canon AT-1, the fully manual version of the famed AE-1. I bought it used from a Marine in "C" company, 3rd AABN, Del Mar. The AT-1 was simple to use and came with a standard 50/f1.8. I bought a generic telephoto zoom lens which was very cheap. I didn't yet understand about glass quality... I also used some cheap generic flash. I used to put all my equipment in a gas mask carrying case instead of a camera bag. This way, nobody bothered me about having my equipment... It was nice and stealthy. I did get asked several times why I always carried a gas mask. Was I afraid of getting gassed? Hehehehehe...

SAE IN BEQ BEFORE THEFT 1980
I bought the SAE II Integrated Amp and Tuner in Oceanside along with 4 Advent Loudspeaker and ran then in the famous 'stacked' configuration. This system would play loud and crisp and accurate.  Friends would come to our room and we'd play at earsplitting levels. Once at lunch we cranked the tunes so loud I got in trouble and had to clean the Company Office for a week straight.

LVTPT UP THE LST RAMP 1024
Going up the ramp of an LST could be a bit scary. If the ship was bobbing a lot you had to time it just right get over the ramp while on the low part of the bobbing. If you were half on and half off the ramp would come to the surface and basically knock you off and into the water sideways. This could be fatal for all the crew and passengers.

An LST with the ramp seen on the stern.  It was not a big target when you were trying to get on the thing... All these LST's were sold to other countries and are no longer.

Drinking in the squadbay was an 'Office Hours' offense. I was busted with them at one of these impromptu parties. I do not remember if this was the one or not.

Corporal R E Hamm here Dec 79 - 83. First duty Camp LeJeune Charlie Co., March of 80. Did some TAD in Little Creek then moved on. Our tours overlapped on the Rock, Oct 1980 to Oct 1981. I was Alpha Co. 1st TVB , first barracks off the gate as best I remember. Did the Float "Team Spirit" and Fly away "Fuji". Went back to Camp Pendleton and caught "West Pac 82-83". Great photo's, brings back great thoughts.

Russ Hamm | www.concut.com, Sun, 8 Jul 2018 5:04PM
Hello, My tour was in a similar timeline with yours, Mr. Yarborough. 1979, Bootcamp and 1st half of Infantry School. Went to Oki in '80 as a mortarman at Schwab with "I"3/4.   briefly; an injury at Fuji put me in our H & S company.  Also, we trained in the Philipines. Some people thought I was nuts when I extended my tour for 3 months, but, I got to see Korea by doing so.  It was the Team Spirit '81 exercise and we carried out the exercise in the countryside, which was interesting. The civilian motorists on the road warmly greeted us with welcoming waves and I saw 2 farmers manually slinging water over a low berm into their field.  It was a curious mixture of the modern and the primitive. Speaking of Oki again, were amtracs and tanks at any other base? My I co. quarters were practically at the end of the peninsula that formed the base and those armored vehicles would travel along the beach from one side of the peninsula to the other . The strip of beach was not very wide at all,(I'm guessing from a 37 yr old memory that it was "maybe" only 60 or 80 feet wide) at the absolute most. So, even with a beach at our back door, it was not the kind of place where you could fall asleep on the sand without worrying about a multi-ton meat tenderizer passing over you. Either way, there was a lot of natural beauty. There were a lot of beautiful Pacific ocean sunrises.   I was with 2d Marines at Lejeune for the remainder of my time in. I was in 2d Mar regimental hq, mostly. I was loaned out to Marine Corps Base for 6 months to do paper work to help run the base and I was a mortarman again at the end of my tour. To the ladies who left notes on the site looking for their loved ones: there was an enlisted men's magazine called Leatherneck that I think is still an active publication.  They had a classsified section that I recall. I assume you could put an ad in it. There's also frequent notices and contact info for unit reunions. I imagine a lot of former active duty marines that live around their former bases look at one occasionally when they're in a barber shop or waiting room somewhere. God bless you all.  Great memories, Great Pics,  Thanks Mr. Yarborough

I was at Delmar from 9/79-4/80 at Schwab from 4/80-4/81 and at courthouse bay from 4/81-6/82 when not out on floats. I have looked at these pictures over the last several years and they bring back memories. Not all good, not all bad.

Joe Cason, Thu, 12 May 2016 12:35AM
I'm the Marine you met at the commuter lot in Newington today, Cris. Your pictures brought back a lot of good memories.

I graduated boot camp at PI in November '81 and spent most of my first hitch with 3/8 out of Geiger, during which time I enjoyed a few months in Beirut with 24 MAU Peacekeeping Force in '82-'83. The remainder of those first three years I was with 2nd LAV Bn at mainside Lejeune.

After I reenlisted, I was initially assigned to DCo, 3d Tracs at the Stumps, then reassigned to 5/11, the arty battalion there. Followed that up with two years of sea duty aboard the battleship Iowa, then ended my career at 1st Landing Support Battalion at DelMar.

It was nice meeting you today, Cris. Perhaps we'll bump into one another again some time. Until then, Semper fi, brother.

Wow, great memories.  I was at Lejeune 77-79, schwab 79, pendleton 1980. I don't have a single picture of when I was in - as you said, nobody had cameras then.  This was especially true for 03's, as we had to carry every single thing and even then everything always got beat up, etc.  I took an instamatic out w/me to field once and it got soaked or crushed or something, my short-lived USMC photography career.  So I really appreciate all these pics, although I don't know anyone, wasn't in tracs.

I think they took it down a couple yrs. ago. I plan on returning there someday, before they construct that a)irfield at Schwab (right over coral reefs). What a shame.

You've got a great "scrapbook" depicting time in service with The Corps.  I've been out for 20 years, but some of these shots look so familiar to me that I almost feel as if I'm going to awake from a dream, to the sound of the Duty NCO shouting "Reveille!, Reveille!"

I am looking for my father. I have found a book with a picture of him. The book does not have a year but I believe it is around 1979-1980. The front of the book says "Marine Corps Recruit Depot" San Diego California, First Battalion, Platoon 1024. His name is Timothy Patrick Wright. If anyone has any information on him or knows how I could find anything about him with this lead, please email me at sandraclaus@americaschoice4re.com. Any info would be greatly appreciated. [Editor: Sandra, I didn't know him during my tour but I hope a visitor to this site does and contacts you. Best of luck and prayers! Let us know if you find him! -Cris aka: AmericanJarhead]

I was in A. Co. 1st Batt. 5th Marine Regiment from '94 - '98. I have lost all of the photos that i had taken during that time. I have lost contact with all my marine buddies but one and its been quite some time since I've heard anything from him. Looking at these photos brings back fond memories of Camp Pendleton and Okinawa. If anyone has any photos of anyone from 2nd platoon please e-mail them to me at macomcline@yahoo.com

I was an amtracker (1833) in 1st Tracked Veh Bn on Okinawa in B Co. in 1980-1981.  All of your photos of LVT operations on the beach, .50 cal range, on LSTs, etc., and downtown Henoko are just like old times!  Thanks for documenting all of this and saving the pictures.  And you have the only photo I have ever seen of somebody working the butts at the rifle range.  Not that any of us would ever forget what any of that looked like.  It's just weird to see a photo of it 25 years later and it looks exactly the way you remember it.

Great to see the photos from your era, and recall some of the same sites from decades before.  The Camp Pendleton shots all seem  quite familiar since Pendleton hasn't changed much.  Even today, when I attend various events and ceremonies there, the terrain and most of the buildings seem frozen in time.

It is Okinawa where the change is enormous.  As you know, I made the landing there April 1, 1945, and the Okinawa in your photos bear little resemblance to my recollections.  I left there in September 1945 to go to China with the 1st Marine Division, and have never been back.  Can't decide actually if I even want to go back.

I was at Horno 1964-65, with 7th Comm. Bn.  May '65 7th Comm., was divided, and half went to Viet-Nam as 5th Comm.  The other half to 29 Palms.  I was with the bunch that became 5th Comm.  I have fond memories of Camp Horno, thanks......
