    Your photos show the inside of Squad Bays. These were/are Quonset Huts used by the Dewvil Pup program, if I'm not mistaken.

    Yes, those photos are the inside of what appears to be recruit squadbays, judging by the width of the center aisle. Certainly not the antique Quonset huts in this area which I can confirm were once used for the Devil Pup program. Marines haven't used these for billeting since maybe the 1960s.

    Looking at the current sat image, the old half round quonset huts are gone. Not surprising, though. As old as they were, they might as well have been museum pieces.
