About Us
The late Jerry Dorneker (VMFA-251 1964 -1967) and myself, Steve Dixon (VMFA-251 1976 -1979), decided to start this page. Jerry's company at the time, Videoconferencing Solutions, Inc. helped in establishing this site. I am the webmaster, in charge of content. Our goal was to find as many former members of VMFA-251, from World War 2 to the present day. Please send all email to me if you wish to contribute pictures and/or stories. We want to hear from everyone.  

Following boot camp at MCRD Parris Island, SC, I went to NAS Millington, Tn. for basic electronics and electricity school. From there I was sent to MCAS Beaufort, SC and assigned to VMFA-251's WC 220 - Electric shop. After a short period of OJT, I was sent to MCAS Cherry Point, NC for specialized schooling on the F-4J Phantom II. After I completed the schooling, I was sent back to VMFA-251 and stayed with them until I was discharged in 1979. While with them, I found myself in Maine, Louisiana, Arizona and California. In 1977 we deployed to MCAS Iwakuni, Japan for a year and then back to Beaufort.
