1966-1972 USMCR I was crew chief in HMM 764 . Early on flew in UH34 later transition to CH46's. It was a reserve squadron back then. In beginning squadron was stationed at LosAlamitos , CA. . Don't recall exact time span but was later in my service was when squadron relocated to Santa Ana, CA ( aka Tustin ). El Toro relocation was after I was released from duty .

1985-1990, I was stationed with HMM-764 at El Toro as an avionics tech. We watched Clint Eastwood taxi by on a C130 when returning from Grenada in "Heartbreak Ridge." Good times and great memories at El Toro. Watched c-141s and C-5s refuel, load and depart twice, once to Panama and for Desert Shield. Remember LCPL Foote stealing VMFA-214 A-4 a couple hangars down. Would sure love to hear from any of the folks who served with the unit back then. SGT (Bill) Williams.

1988-1993, I was assigned to MAG-46 HMM-764 located at MCAS El Toro, not MCAS Tustin. I know the unit was also at MCAS El Toro when I was stationed with VMGR-352 in 1986. I believe the unit moved from MCAS El Toro to Edwards AFB when MCAS El Toro closed. SSgt Robert Scott USMC (Ret)
