III MEF is the big picture so to speak. Within the III MEF are smaller batalions/units and 3D MEB actually falls under the III MEF. Courtney is on the east coast of Okinawa in about the middle. Maybe a little south of the middle. It's on this map. It's "A" and Hansen is "C". It's sort of close to Hansen. It's not that it's far from Hansen, it would just be easier to get to if you could travel in a straight line. lol ~~~ ~~~ May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. ~~~ I live in my own little world, but it's OK, they know me here.

The main purpose of Courtney is family housing. It's the where the accompanied Marines who work at Hansen and Schwab live when they live in base housing. There is a small commissary, small PX, theater, food court, bowling alley, gym, pool, library, enlisted/NCO/officer's club, and a chapel. There are very few Marines that actually work on Courtney. There is a pig farm near by and what I remember the most about Courtney is how bad it stinks there. lol It's pretty boring for the most part but they can always take the Green Line to the other bases when they have time off and get bored of the same ol' same ol' on Courtney. It's not a very busy base. You don't see many people when you go there. There is really not a lot to tell about Courtney. ~~~ ~~~ May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. ~~~ I live in my own little world, but it's OK, they know me here.

I only wish I had this web site last year when I thought I was the only one on the planet feeling this way. It's comforting to know I'm not the only one. My son was with the trucking co. until about a month ago. After 8 months in Ramadie, Iraq he moved to communications at Camp Courtney. He too is an animal lover, but pigs...I don't know. Now, if it were cows, he'd go cow tippin'. I guess now I know why he so greatful for the "new releases" dvd's. What does your Lcpl. Evan do? Mama Dukes PMM of Cpl. B

I wish I could tell you it was because I was working but I can't. I'm stilllllllllll waiting to hear from the one job, the one I wanted the most because of the hours and pay. I think I might just give up if I don't hear from them this week. Im still bored and want to work but now we want to buy a house too and the extra imcome will good for a loan. I'll have to update with some pictures tomorrow (Tuesday). Tell Evan not to get too attached to the pigs at the pig farm, they are not pets. ~~~ ~~~ May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. ~~~ I live in my own little world, but it's OK, they know me here.
