See above comment. I was the 1st Sgt for Receiving Company when I retired. My career literally began and ended at the same place.

There's plenty still being used for storage at MCRD SD. Only place I've slept in one was at Camp Wilson 29 Palms during predeployment training in 2005 and 2007.

It looks like there about 15x of them near the pool off Guadacanal & Iwo Jima Ave's. Based on location, I would estimate they are historic (Storage) as opposed to operational.
