corporalgator (☼Travelguide writer) says on Oct 13, 2008, 10:26: 3rd MAW, Mag-39 HMM(T)-164, Camp Pendleton 2001 through 2004, was a helicopter crewchief on the CH-46E, but I graduated from my last school and stayed to work there at the training squadron, so I never had to go to Iraq fortunately. Had some friends go down in their birds there and die, but still everyone in the squadron pulled rank to get out and go, probably not so much anymore since by now everyone has gone 2 or 3 times.

babygirl says on Oct 6, 2009, 22:12: Ya I thought it was 1988 too, but hey, who's counting ;) Mexico City seems to get some good shows and speaking of punk (if I told you this before ignore me) San Jose CR has a decent enough punk scene. I was pretty impressed. I saw a really good punk show there at a bar called Capones Best quote of the week... "should I be taking this pill with wine?" Canadian Girls Kick Ass! 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

btwells72 says on Oct 6, 2009, 22:19: Awesome. I was in San Jose for a brief time and saw an interest. Never saw a show in Latin America. Scratch that. While stationed in San Diego I used to go to Iguana's in Tijuana, BC, Mexico. I saw Offspring and Rancid there in the early 90s, and DRI (crossover metal/punk band).

babygirl says on Oct 6, 2009, 22:31: Oh I remember DRI! I know when I was in San Jose it was just before Maiden was coming so my buddy was stoked about getting tickets. I was having serious doubts whether or not their stadium could handle a metal concert. o_0 Best quote of the week... "should I be taking this pill with wine?"

babygirl says on Oct 6, 2009, 22:47: That's really cool that you saw Offspring so early in their career!!! Wait a sec, I was in CR August 2008. Maybe Maiden came back after that? Maybe I was there August 2007 and I'm getting really senile? hehehehe. I've never been to TJ, I hear it's pretty trashy, si o no? Best quote of the week... "should I be taking this pill with wine?"
