Change of Command November 1, 2010

The last active duty Marine that I personally know and served with was Commandant Jim Conway. General Conway was a Captain when I saw him first at OCS at Quantico, VA and then I had the good fortune to be taught by him while a 2nd Lieutenant there. I again served with him in the 31st MAU in WESTPAC and as we went into Beirut, Lebanon in 1983.

General Conway was one of the officers that you had the good fortune to meet and you knew that he was one of the good ones and one of the officers you could expect great things from. Here is the summary of the Change of Command at Marine Barracks 8th and I in Washington, D.C.

Fair winds and following seas General.

Semper Fi,
