quote:Camp Lejeune Brigadier General Julian D. Alford said in a statement that the base has endured ?countless destructive weather events over its 77-year history,? and he expects the structures to continue withstanding tough conditions.

When asked if the base is well-prepared for a potentially Category 4 hurricane, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Aaron Courts responded defiantly, ?Oh, yes, ma?am, we?re marines and we?re ready to go.?

    He was kinda correct on his wording, a few did go.....some were bused down here to the USMC Logistics Base, Albany, Ga. recruits are continuing their basic training here until ??, same procedure as when Hugo and others passed thru. I heard some also went to NAS Jacksonville, Fla. [;)]

    Believe it or not, I was one of those recruits. I was bused to New Albany, GA when Parris Island was hit by a hurricane back in 1999.
