What is the smallest unit, remotist location, long term hardship military assignement?

many years ago there was a Camp Called Camp Grieves just between JFC and the bridge. I see the bridge hasn't changed.

Hello Douglas, it closed down about 10 years ago along with Garry Owen/Pelham. They were the last 2 Camps owned by the US Army. Only American Troops left in the old Western Corridor are those at JSA-Panmunjom.

I remember getting a few up close and personal looks at that bridge, ugly damn thing that it is.

SPC Charles Brown - I remember crossing a bridge in southern Iraq. Big warning sign saying "maximum weight limit 25,000 pounds" while riding in a 14-18 ton (ie 28,000-36,000 pound) MRAP. talk about pucker city.

My buddy and I were dirt biking in Mojave and wanted to go to China Lake for a swim in the lake...... SMH.

Love the dusty lakes in the Mojave! Unless it rains!!!!! :-)

been there in the 80;s

2 rotations in the 80s and was station there 90-91, with a TDY trip to the big desert! Duty was good, but hated the desert!

Was never there myself, but given the descriptions I heard from many Marines, Yuma sounds pretty bad.

did my training there when i was station at fort hood lots and lots of sand.

Spent a month there in the summer of 1977. We had to wear thick mechanics coveralls and respirators. We worked 1/2 day every 2 days. We were going around to every squirrel hole and spraying in some sort of dust to kill fleas on the squirrels. Only good part was that I brought my bike down and would take the cross road to Hwy. 1 and go diving at Jade Cove. I had a friend on the coast that lived in the area and we would meet up to dive. It was hell riding over the mountains to the coast on a bike with 2 scuba tanks and other diver gear. The squirrels would intentionally dart out into the road to try to get you into an accident.
