Four inches of snow on the ground at Camp Pendleton??? He must have moved to Camp Lejeune somewhere in that story.
Likely camp Perry.
Pendleton can get wicked cold, with the fog rolling off the ocean, but no snow. Probably MCB Quantico. The USMC Rifle Team, the Big Show, staged out of there. The Fibbies and a lot of state and metro SWAT teams went there for training.
