Historical Events of the 2000's
The year 2005 provided a unique distinction for the Marine Corps, as well
as for 8th & I, when General Peter Pace assumed the position
of Chairman of our Nation's Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Pace first served
at the Barracks as a 1st Lt. in 1969, first as a ceremonial platoon leader, and
then as Company Commander of the Ceremoinial Company. He returned to the
Barracks again in 1988 as a Lt. Col.
