Staff members were unbelievably courteous and thoughtful. Operations ran smoothly and as it should. Two memorable members of their staff stood out especially in the best of ways and I will not soon forget their encouragement and the time they took out to have a normal conversation. Stg. Casey and C/O Gurley. The facility is clean, and the environment is very laid back. The energy in this place is very calm (until it's not). And the food is decent. Lol. These people should be the people who train employees of state prisons and jails around the USA! Jhirmick Cabbagestalk

The Queen Anne's Revenge Conservation Lab is located in Greenville, NC. Once a month, on the first…read moreTuesday of the month, the lab is opened to the public for tours. Reservations are required for the free tours but it is easy to make a reservation on their website. In 1996, Queen Anne's Revenge which had been named La Concorde as it was a French slave ship was found off of the Beaufort inlet. The boat was 103 foot with 40 cannons and sunk on the Beaufort sandbar in 1718. In 2003, QAR Conservation Lab was formed in Greenville as they needed a bigger facility to work. Archaeologists work at the facility to uncover; preserve; clean; identify and catalog the artifacts. This is a very long process. Some of the artifacts took 9 years from when they started until it could be displayed at the museum. The artifacts are covered with concretion which is a mixture of shells, sand and debris that latch on. So they start with xrays to see what is inside. The artifacts need to soak in a tank to keep them wet. Then archaeologists have to use air scribes (it reminded me of a dentist drill) to remove the the concretion. The artifacts then need to soak to desalinate and this can take many years. Electronic reduction is used to help stop corrosion. Anodes get attached to artifacts to help the process. The warehouse has some parts of the hull structure; a 12 foot anchor that weighs over 2000 pounds; cannons; cannon balls; and much more. Some of the small artifacts were found in the sand. So far, 30 of the cannons have been recovered among the hundreds of thousands of artifacts. I had no idea how much was involved in getting items from the sea to the point they are ready for the museum. I have much respect for these archaeologists preserving history. I highly recommend taking a tour at QAR Conservation Lab as it is a unique experience.

I'm required to check in with the visitors centers at each base to get access so I've been in at least 20 over the past 3 years. I'm disappointed in Camp Lejeune. As one of the larger bases I've been to, this visitor center is one of the slowest and least friendly. There were 6 staff members there and in the 30+ minutes it took me to get through I only saw 2 doing any apparent work. Fortunately there was only two people ahead of me or I am sure it would have been an hour or more to get the 5 min clearance I needed to get through the gate. I've seen a trend. When visitors centers are staffed by civilians they are never as friendly or welcoming as those staffed by military personnel. They are also always slower. Camp Lejeune keeps that trend alive. At least I'm good for a few years before having to go back.

Yelp review: Mike's Barracks room…read more Overall pretty accommodating with a certain homey feel. Clean and bedding was comfortable. The host also knows all the local bars which helped. Although make sure to bring a towel because I had to use paper towels to dry off. And the bathroom is shared in a Jack and Jill set up. So middle of the night you can possibly have a buddy help shake it off. As I was checking out there was a small power outage so I was able to take advantage of the thick low light curtains to let some light in. Overall would recommend
