I was on the Iwo then and made regular trips in to the Beirut airport to meet C130's and break down the cargo and re-manifest. Was great because I could pick my buddies for working parties. We also did the same thing on Saturdays to go to Larnaca where we have an SK1 Brian Kaneta (SP?) who would make sure we had beers. Ran in to Brian years later at the Embassy in London and he had made it to Senior Chief. There we other videos that were created and I had on VHS tape but lost track of that years ago. There was one that was Alice Cooper No More Mister Nice Guy showing shots of battleships and another to Here We Go Again showing Marine operations.

I was a Yeoman Second Class embarked aboard the USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2) for MARG 2-83. I was with the staff of COMPHIBRON-8 under Commodore Morgan M. France and Commander Mike A. Murray, Chief Staff Officer (CSO). Memories forever onboard, especially the October 23, 1983 bombing in Beirut.

This video was made (as well as others) during the May-December 1983 Med Cruise. This, as well as other videos were regularly played on WIWO-TV. Unfortunately, VHS tapes were the best technology of the era and they did not age well with time. Still, it brings back memories of my youth. There was also a video of Marines on land done to Elton John's "Time on my hands" which I haven't seen on KZitem. Possibly damaged, lost or destroyed over the years?

I believe I have the video you mention with Elton John music on my channel. I did get the vhs tapes from my that worked on WIWO productions, pretty sure I made note of that at the end of each one.

By the way, the BIG GUNS you see shooting are from the USS NEW JERSEY (BB-82). I spent some time on that while in Beirut as well.

A pretty choppy video but reminded me a lot of my time on the Flight Deck as a LSE on two Med Cruises between 72-74. Lot of good times as well as bad times, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.....
