Thanks Ladies:  In surfing the web I discovered there are MANY birthday balls. I was interested in the 2-8 birthday ball being held in Myrtle Beach.  Just received all necessary information  from my otherwise very quiet corpsman.

Froggy, I found this on Facebook but it was held November 7, 2014.  Perhaps they would know if there's another event scheduled this month?

I spoke last evening to my son and he said they would be in the field on Friday.  He has Verizon and the service for it will not work so he is borrowing phones - so thank you to those who are sharing! 

Comment by sockmonkey on October 20, 2014 at 5:01pm

Hello all. I was just wondering if there is a group for Corpsman attached 3/2 Battalion. I am looking for information about the training they are doing in 29 Palms. Just curious what it is like and what they are doing.
