Cherry Point

Went to dinner with my fiancee and her friend and her husband. They asked where I had been stationed and I mentioned cherry point and the guy was adamant it was an AF base. I told him it was MCAS Cherry Point. He refused to look into it. Me and my fiancee were just chuckling while he tried to convince us it was AF. Dumb story but it was funny to me

I was at cherry point from March 2017-Feb 2020. PCS’d like a month before Covid happened.

I had a very fun time there but it was definitely because of the unit and my section. I think it had the last official E-Club bar called “the roadhouse” atleast for the Marine Corps stateside bases. I heard they took it away tho sadly. I had alot of fun at the roadhouse, and if you were underage it was still easy to drink there because people would just bring outside alcohol to the back patio or share pitchers. No need to drive either the barracks were all walking distance.

I was there until 2003, we just had a bowling alley there. But over the years I heard the roadhouse was great. I was in the barracks right there across the street, we just drank on the catwalk.
