1st Force Recon Tattoo EGA
1st Force Recon tattoo left upper arm.
​This EGA tattoo was done in Twentynine Palms, California between 1994 and 1996.
It possibly indicated both a connection to Force Reconnaissance and Explosive Ordinance Disposal - EOD Company.
​There is an anomaly in the tattoo above the DI in "Dishonor". I added some pics at the bottom of this page. Feel free to send me any thoughts on that.
Here are some thoughts I have about this case.
He likely spent time in Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton
Based on his age range his likely dates of service would have been somewhere in the 1985- 1997 years.
He was likely very recently separated from the US Marine Corps since he is not on any AWOL lists.
7Th ESB (Engineer Support Battalion), which includes EOD Company, was deployed to Iraq and Somalia.
1st Force Recon and EOD were both in Camp Pendleton.
I have some more information/thoughts on this page:
