One Former Active duty Marine collects them now and deeply regrets the
time he spent in the NCO club instead of searching the Mojave desert for
meteorites or just plain skywatching under a truly dark sky.

That reminds me of the year I spent in Pecos NM. I worked on a construction project that was poorly managed. I only worked about 5-10 hours per week. The rest of the time was spent doing nothing (actually spent most of it doing the same thing you probably did in the NCO club). This was when I first got interested in meteorites and Pecos is only 10 miles from Glorieta Mountain. To make matters worse one of the pieces of standard issue equipment with the company I was working for was a metal detector!
I have stopped by there to hunt on my way down to Tucson but so far have not found any. I still wonder how many I could have found if I had spent even a part of those 1000-1500 hours hunting. Let's not even mention if members of my job crew would have came with.
