INFO D 3/20/2025: Note 1, the link at the bottom may not work on the "Message Board".
Note 2, if you didn't get "INFO D" in your email inbox, you're not on my mailing list. Contact me to get on the 2/3 VVA President's Email List. For security, not posting email addresses on this Message Board. Get it from your Company Rep or Battle Buddy. If you have any trouble getting my email address, then send a note with your contact info (Name, Company, Platoon, Dates of 2/3 Vietnam Service, Address, Phone [cell and home], Email address, Next of Kin Name & Phone) to Mick Hughes, P.O. Box 211, Baldwin, NY 11510.
2/3 Marines, Associates, Family and Friends. Here's some more great news!
Please see below the link for CALTRAP magazine containing the 2025 Third Marine Division Association (T.M.D.A.) Reunion Registration (A.F.R.I.) Form, Schedule of Events and Tour Descriptions.
Two big pieces of advice are:
1. Pay your $5 2/3 V.V.A. dues NOW. It's a change, 2/3 V.V.A. dues are NOT collected via the TMDA Registration Form.
2. Book your hotel space NOW.
I have not done an in-depth read of all things 2025 Reunion in CALTRAP. That'll come in the next couple of days. This is going out to you A.S.A.P.
A skim read showed a place on a form for a Social Security Number if you have no Military Identification. If you plan on the tour to Davis-Monthan AFB on 9/17/25, provide your SS# if you choose. My SS# won't go on a form that goes to AFRI before it's transmitted to Military Security. Feel free to contact me by email, text or phone if you'd like to discuss this issue.
Tentatively, this is our (Mick & Barbara) personal schedule for Reunion 2025, Tucson.
