Once you are finished work, go hang out in The Vill (aka Mudville).
You can even sign up and visit there on your phone - it formats perfect for phones.

Scuttlebutt: News, Updates, & Special Annoucements.
(Revised 18 January 2015)

I received a request from a Research Historian from the History Division Marine Corps.
I will just paste in part of that email...

"... I am a reference historian at History Division Marine Corps and a longtime friend of the Warriors of 881S...and I need your assistance. I am working with a major out at Marine Corps Tactics and Operations group (MCTOG). He is studying the supergaggle and close air support of the hills....and what he really needs now is to speak with some of the veterans who experienced it firsthand. I have been able to put him in touch with Tom Esslinger and Glenn Prentice on the ground side. ( Glenn now gives Bob Arrotta's lecture on close air support of the hills to classes at MWATS-1.) I have also put him in touch with marines from VMO-6 and HMM-262, as well as a couple of fixed wingers who flew support of the hills. But I would also like to provide him with a list of contacts from the Purple Foxes. ..."

I did not heard back from from HDMC about this yet, but if you would like to particpate please
let me know ( by email ), and I will pass on your email address.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going to try something new: our own forum site. I called the forum The Vill after every place just outside the main gate were we all went to relax after a day of work.

This is just like doing email, but everyone that visits our site, and goes to the forum will be able to see it. It may not seem like it, but behind Swifty's logo, there are a lot of things going on all the time. But, much of that activity probably does not belong on the website proper, but you, as an individual, may be interested in it, or may be able to answer a question someone else has, or you may have something you want to share with the other "members" and visitors of our website. There are a lot of people that are regulars on our site that have things to say and to share, and this will give you a specific place to do that right on our own site. We are also getting several current, active duty Purple Foxes joining our roster, and I would love to hear from them on the forum too! Especially now that they have new birds to fly. There are literally hundreds of places on the Internet to interact with each other, so why make up one more. This forum is for the HMM-364 community, AND it is attached to OUR website, not a link to Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc. However, you can link what you write on the forum to those services if you have an account there. Do me a favor and take a look at the forum and the first post I have put on there. There is a feed all the way at the bottom of the page that shows the latest posts. I put it down there to keep it out of the way of the Table of Contents. I really do not like to post too much stuff between Swifty, and the TOC (including this). Eventually I will remove the feed from the main page.
