I was a Marine Guard in Brazzaville during the Evacuation in June 1997. My name is Rob, I was one of the newest member of the detachment there.
God bless you guys/gals...I'm glad we all made it out alive....I left on June 18th for Kinshasa....I know a bunch of you loved the MRE's if you stayed in the embassy with us...and the use of one bathtub.....
What a time....
Served in Tsama, Congo 1994-1996. Sometimes wish I was still there.
Sometimes, not.
Married, living in Denver, CO. Do lots of hiking in the mountains. Life is good.
