This doesn't give you any idea where these guys are from. 2nd MEB I would assume 2nd MarDiv, but today everything is different.
You don't hear about BLT's or even RLT's anymore it is all at the Brigade level.

That's great WT. That middle photo reminds me of the summer of '67 out in the Mojave playing catch my scorpion, 'cept we didn't have tents, everything crawly tried to sleep next to your warm body where finding your buddy in the morning was as simple as locating two nostril holes in the facefull of blowsand, just like the one you woke to. One thing, it made you hate your own mother for giving birth to you. God I love grunts. Semper Fi Marines
Mark, we've apparently become dinosaurs, I have a tough time with the new terms, designations and unit alignments. I do take solace that tent life is about the same.:) Where else in the entire world can you stand in mud up to your tired ass and have dust blowing in your face. That's true grit!!!
