How many USMC hikers are out there? It seems like everywhere I turn, there is a post with "Semper Fi" or "Ooh-Rah".

I am the daughter and mother of a Marine. I had a stroke, which ended my USMC career in the JAG. :(

Are any of you near Camp Pendleton or 29 Palms? I'd like to find someone to train with, once I get out there in Sept. I don't know a thing about hiking in CA.
