I grew up aboard Camp Lejeune (dad was Marine 1954-75), then I was stationed there as well. I knew some of the history but certainly not all. I saw this link of a "virtual tour." You used to be able to actually take a map and go base and tour many of these sites. I don't think you can now. Now in 2019/2020, it's hard to believe the amphib nets that were used in WW2 were still there when I was growing up in the 70s, only 30 years removed from WW2. I think all of that is gone now. Building H1 was the hospital; even when my mom died 13 years ago she called the hospital opened in 1980 "the new hospital."
Ahhhh, feeling nostalgic and the winds of time....
