The Herald – After enlisting in the Marines in 1979, Doug Jones spent time at Camp Lejeune, a 264-square-mile base camp in North Carolina.He said he never tasted anything unusual in the base’s water during the four to five months he spent there between deployments. “But we drank a heck of a lot of it,” he said. “We would go on forced marches. You drink a lot of water. We always made sure our canteens were full.”
