1987, MCRD San Diego, then 29 Palms for MOS school, then Okinawa until 90, then Cherry Point until 92. Lots of fun Korea trips, Thailand, Norway, and at Cherry Point I went to Niland Cali (R2507N&S) more than I got sent to Lejune.
While a guardsman I went to Baumholder, GE one summer and spent a year in Ansbach, GE.

Just Iwakuni, Japan & Cubi Point, P.I. for me (plus port-calls in Vancouver BC, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, & Hong Kong).
Europe would have been nice, but the USMC didn't go there (at least not the air wing).

Me?
I'm Derrick (Del) Jones, been playing Traveller since about 1984. I'm a BITS member and have been involved in playtesting Power Projection with Dom Mooney. I don't get to regularly play Traveller nowadays, since my gaming group (St Helens, Lancashire, UK) prefer RuneQuest and Bushido, but I'll be at TravCon '08 this year....

Carl, not an active gamer and haven't been for a looooong time. Collector mainly, currently looking into Traveller in it's many forms. registered here to try and get a handle on the history of the Imperium, to try and see where everything fits, history-wise.
Wish me luck as I dive in but just a few quick questions - obvious to those in the know - Imperial history pretty much remains the same thoughout the various incarnations of the rules; right? The real difference is in GURPS when Strephon is NOT assassinated - right? 4th edition is based at the beginning of the 3rd empire, after thje long night? (So Milieu 0 would be a good product to get if I were interested in that)?
Just a quick, idiot-proof, primer would be nice!
Cheers
Carl

First Post, in a real sense
I am a newish personality. I intended on just being a passive Lurker, but the prompt wants me to say Hi. Being weak, Hi.
Hello, old Friends. Odd thing to say, had a stroke, affects my memory. I used to post here, some, several years ago, but don't remember even my login name. Funny.
If anybody has an idea how I might find out my old login information, I would appreciate your help. Just the Name, I would like to read my old stuff.
I ran Traveller since 79 or so, 'my' Players have largely abandoned me, the drooling gets unsettling, I reckon. Not that bad really, but it is unsettling to have someone have no idea who you are, I'm sure.
All things Old are New again. Re-reading the old books, I'm revisiting my youth; reading the CoTI, really enjoying your arguments, I feel that I know some of you, but for the life of me, have no idea who you are, or who I 'am'.
Reboot, reload, format and reinstall if necessary.
Life is wierd, but it beats the alternative. Peace, in our minds, if not our times. I used to say that a lot, I think.
Does anybody read this stuff? :devil:
