Wednesday, April 1, 2009 - The 26th MEU is now completely ConUS....or in the Continental United States. The majority of the BLT arrived back on Onslow Beach last week, with the final members returning earlier this week.
The MEU finished it's deployment with very little problems. With all the training we completed to go on this deployment, sometimes it can feel like a waste. Much like the fire house and all the training that goes into that, we had to be prepaired for anything.
Were all happy to return to Camp LeJeune, where we can get some good food and home brew beer. Homecoming went smoothly, with those friends and familys waiting for their Marines to come home, getting constant updates on when they would get off the bus. All in all, everything went well, but we are all happy to be back.
As a personal update, this was my last deployment with 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines. I will be ending my 4 years with the Marine Corps this winter, hoping to be home in Havertown for good before the holiday season. Thanks for all the support, and I only hope the firehouse continues supporting fellow service men and women within Station 56.
