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 . Never spent a day at ElToro . Guess is El Toro came into play after squadron went from " Reserve " status to " Full Time Active " which was after my duty period . Rank at discharge E4 / corporal. Offerred E5 to reinlist . R. Fine

1981-1983, I was a Crew Chief with HMM 764 at MCAS Tustin. Richard Unwin
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)
