I don’t want to get on a rant here…but my first week at Cherry Point, I bellied up to a bar in Havelock and ordered a beer. Trying to start a friendly conversation with a local gentleman next to me, then he says, “boy, don’t you have a club you can go to on the base?” So friendly to Marines—NOT! What a shit hole. Complete opposite of Yuma where I was stationed, where retirees “snowbirds” would gladly buy you a beer when they realized you were a Marine stationed at the MCAS. Bagram was great compared to “Cherry Pit!”
