Good News and Bad News

The bad news first - Father Logan, 2d Marine Division Chaplain and the only TLM celebrant up in Camp Lejeune will be retiring this Fall. But nonetheless, Fair Winds and Following Seas to the Commander.

Personally speaking, Father Logan's decision to start celebrating the TLM was a Godsend. I'll always be grateful to him for that.

But it looks like good Padre is on his way to Germany to serve returning troops headed back to The States.

Now the good news - below is the application for a 6 month vehicle pass for the Base. This will let you come aboard the Base at any gate without having to go to the Visitors Center at the Main Gate.

Just print out the form, and make sure you address the envelope to the following address;
