Great article...thanks.

Tell me, do any of the California USMC facilities allow former Marines to come on base and view combat video or still photos taken by USMC journalists and grunts?

Years ago -- this was possible, with some "inside help" at Parris Island, Camp Lejeune or Quantico.....

Is this practice dead -- and if not, where should one go?

Check this out .. USMC History and Museums ... I haven't looked at any of the links for this page yet, but it may have some stuff online re: photos, essays, unit histories, etc. Look under Historical.

Where do you live, by the way? The current Marine Corps Recruit Depot Commandant in San Diego, Huly, was my Series Commander in 1972. Maybe, I can try and get ahold of him if you're in the SoCal area. I was a Platoon and Series Honorman in his series back in 1972. I know he wouldn;t remember me, but ya never know. :-)
