LTCOL DONALD “KENT” SHOCKEY
COMMANDING OFFICER, MBCF 1982-
The Colonel was a great guy. I worked in the same building with him at Parris Island. I transferred to the Barracks several months ahead of him and I left the Barracks three and a half years later, right before he retired. He was firm but fair and understanding. We all have our stories about him and a common thread is that he was respected and approachable. It was good to see him at the 2016 reunion in Jacksonville where he had a great time with his Marines. He will be missed.
