Been looking everywhere on reunion hall for
Camslant. Anyone know where I can find it? What
it might be under? Found all my other old units
but can't find Camslant...Thanks

Under it's original name:

COMMSTA Portsmouth.

What I always knew it as (83-86 on the
Big D) before the CG wanted to be like the
Navy and call it CAMS.

That brings back memories, I answered dependable on hf zni1 plenty of times. I was there 93-97 during the time we shut down cw. Pic below was around early 94 right after they built the wheel chair ramp, before the office spaces were added on the left end of the building (you could still smoke at the back door of the commcen, back door stayed open all night ) and the admin end wasn't expanded yet either. I went back about 8 years later and now there are buildings out front and I think there may be more out back as well. It was really growing out there.

I don't know of any reunion forums either but I'd be interested in attending if we can get one together.

Cool pic. I remember when they first started construction on the Garages to the left of the road going up to the building. Before they laid the foundation it was all dirt, which soon became all mud. Throw in a '77 Ford F-150 w/33's and it eventually led to good 'ole mid-watch muddin' sessions! Yee haw!

Wow, nice to see you Doug! The day I took those pics I was going to work on a Saturday evening. You and I probably had the mids that night together. Small world isn't it.

WOW...nice pics...place has really changed since my time...was RMC on PRECOM detail...long time ago!!

I miss those days back when there was no internet and all we had to look forward to was the pretty green glow from the swsII

ssmith...i will bow down to ya if you can tell me who's cars those in the picture belonged too. I know 2 of them. I believe it was our watch.

The truck to the right by itself was RMCM Mike Dyer, before he bought the red toyota, and I don't know why his truck would have been there on a weekend. The tercel belonged to Joels wife but I can't remember her name. The green tauras on the left was Bruce Hurley, and the Jeep belonged to a guy they called Zeus, but I can't remember what his real name was.

What are you driving these days? You always had some kind of bada$$ ride...M3, Supra, built up F-150. Think you even had a Camaro at one point, sans mullet of course.

Yea I'm still messing around with cars. Right now I have a couple of old chevy's and two german newby's. Here is the link to my pics.

Lol...I also remember the SWII having games in it too...like black jack, pac man, and like 10 others.

Steve, I believe that green tarus was my car before I got the Ranger. I believe Bruce already had his Ranger at that time.

BTW, great pics of your rides. Awesome pics of your kid...oh...what happended to your hairline?

I know..I can't say anything

-pat

the jeep belonged to Douglas Turner aka "zeus".

Nice rides...I knew you wouldn't disappoint. Once a car guy, always a car guy. Here's my commuter...

and the SRT-4 is my weekend toy...The X-runner has since been sold...

I actually just got orders to CAMSLANT.

This is my first duty station. Any suggestions/advice? I really need help with a place. I've got a wife and son but no word yet on housing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm at camslant at the moment, its been good so far, they have BRAND NEW housing which looks really good(on base). They have plenty of houses for sale/rent around town(chesapeake, virginia beach, norfolk) because this is such a big military area. North Carolina is the cheapest (my experiance)if you are looking to buy and no traffic.

I lived on Osprey Court back in the day...It was nice then. Even better if it's brand new now. A 2 minute commute is nice! Especially after a midwatch. It was a pretty good haul to get to Great Bridge to do anything, but the trade-off was worth it. My commute now is 1 1/2 hours...boy do I miss the good 'ol days!

Ive talked to one lady from housing and she siad that I would only get a 2 bedroom since I was an OS3 and had one kid. But when I called again they said they only had 3 BR's and there was a 3-6 month wait. Any credibility to this? Or better yet, does anyone have a good contact to call?

Thanks for all the input

Just call the Comms Center. They can direct you or someone there may help

757-421-6240

When was that picture taken? I was there from 1999-2002, and I swear that's my black Kia Sephia next to the Jeep.

Section 3 for life!
