This movie inspired me to be a Marine. As a female, I have come along way. OOH-RAH for me's. All fellow Marines, please add me to your friend list. I would appreciate any info on Camp Lejune.

Camp Lejeune:
A swampy place with virtually nothing to do in Jacksonville unless you have money to pimp your car, go to strip clubs, or like to pawn your possessions.
At least that's the impression I get from my boyfriend and his friends. I've only been down there a few times; there's really not that much to do.
The base itself is ok. DO NOT DRIVE EVEN ONE MILE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT EVER. That's been stressed to me more times than I can count. The base theater shows movies for only like, $2, there's a library and the PX and all sorts of things like that, and a lot of the barracks don't have air conditioning. I don't know about the women's living quarters though.

Here i snagged this from the website "Camp Lejeune takes advantage of 156,000 acres, 11 miles of beach capable of supporting amphibious operations, 34 gun positions, 50 tactical landing zones, three state-of-the-art training facilities for Military Operations in Urban Terrain and 80 live fire ranges to include the Greater Sandy Run Training Area.
The base and surrounding community is home to an active duty, dependent, retiree and civilian employee population of nearly 150,000 people. The base generates almost $3 billion in commerce each year, coming from payrolls and contracts to support the structure required to train and equip our modern Marines.
Some services available aboard Camp Lejeune include: childcare, shopping, education, family support, hunting and fishing, dining, boating and swimming.
Some facilities on base include banks and credit unions, the commissary, the library, hobby shops, fitness centers, the beach, theaters and more."
Hope this helps you somewhat.

I describe Jacksonville, the city outside of Lejeune, as the scrotum of America I hate it that much. My understanding is that there's really only ONE strip club, and it's tobey's. Not that I think a female marine would go there, but I advise you against going there. Let's just say that some of my husband's squad mates in SOI went there and made a song about how they now have herpes (there's a girl who does blow jobs for 20 bucks or something). Dirty place.
I like the base, it's pretty, it's big, it's way more civilized than Jacksonville. It reminds me of an Army base more than a marine base. razz
