Marine Corps SIGINT Association

The Marine Corps SIGINT Association is a registered non-profit corporation that consists of former 2600 professionals who advocate for the 2600 community and veterans. https://2651usmc.com/memorial-wall/

The Marine Corps SIGINT Association was created after the unfortunate events involving Jordan Hunkin. In order to honor our fellow Marine and brother in arms, it was important to create an entity that we could advocate from—one that would grow and possibly outlive its founding members. Jordan’s travesty was the driving force to get the Marines from Tactical Systems engaged in what was going on in veteran communities around the United States. What we have found are many areas that can be improved. We never want to see any veteran deal with the things Jordan had to experience at the VA. We can't change what happened to Jordan, but we can ensure safeguards are put in place so other veterans don’t have to deal with the same issues and accountability is held for negligence.

“The findings follow a previous OIG report of the incorrect use of the Baker Act on a veteran at the Malcom Randall VA Hospital in Gainesville. Of the 12 recommendations made in that report, three are still unresolved.”

Active Projects

Primary Goal: Currently, the Marine Corps SIGINT Association is working on several different missions. The first and primary mission of the organization is to continue to get news coverage on Jordan Hunkin’s story until the VA is held accountable and responsible changes in procedures are implemented.

Secondary Goal: Work with Marine Corps leadership to have the 2600 course materials at the Marine Corps Intelligence Schoolhouse evaluated so the courses can be transferred for college credit. Work with Air Force leadership at Goodfellow Air Base to have the courses Marines complete there receive the same college credits the Air Force currently receives. This hasn’t happened since the inception of SMART in the early 1990s and has persisted through the transition to ACE and present day. It will take time, but we see movement on the issue since this organization brought it back into the spotlight with Marine Corps leadership.

  • Update 4-15-2025: The MCIS schoolhouse is moving to accredit the 2651 course and is working out the issues to ACE accredit the other 2600 courses at Goodfellow. Full details to come soon.
  • Update 5-14-2025: The MCIS schoolhouse has sent an update for Marines who went through any version of 2600 courses at Goodfellow Air Base. This is not a permanent fix. The end goal is to have Marines' Joint Services Transcripts updated automatically, like other MOSs and branches. https://2651usmc.com/uncategorized/2600-goodfellow-courses/
  • Update 11-25-2025: The 2651 courses (ISEC and ISAC) are scheduled for review with ACE starting 4-27-2026. Once those three get through the accreditation process, all 26xx ELT will be receiving accreditation.


Third Goal: Archive as many former Marine Corps Cryptologic Association and private websites dealing with Marine SIGINT and Cryptology as possible before the information is lost. Currently, many privately owned websites are disappearing from the internet. The generation of Marines who were cryptologists is quickly moving on, so it is extremely important that the younger generation of 2600s gather as many of their stories and information as we can. We have been able to recover information from the Wayback Machine and remain in communication with cryptologists and 2600s who ran previous organizations. We will continue to find as many old stories and testimonials as possible to archive them for future audiences.

President Trump, We’re are demanding a congressional hearing for the on-going disarray at the west LA Home for Veterans.

A petition and a call to action 

 The Broken Promise

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: 


Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Our Nation’s security, prosperity, and freedom would not be possible without our veterans. Many service members paid the ultimate sacrifice. Many others bear visible and invisible wounds from their service. Too many veterans are homeless in America. Each veteran deserves our gratitude. 


Yet the Federal Government has not always treated veterans like the heroes they are. During the previous administration, unaccountable bureaucrats treated them shamefully, failing veterans when they needed help most and betraying the taxpayers who rightfully expect better. 


The story of the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center is indicative of this failure.


The Veterans of this Nation are calling for your support


DVA Health Administration, VAGLAHS,


This is the leaseholders pain tax. The more we hurt, the more we pay. And the profits are immense. 


We need clear Federal Housing laws that prohibit the use of Veteran’s disability compensation in calculating rent in project-based housing. Disability compensation IS NOT CONSIDERED INCOME


TRUTH, TRUST & ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, & SOLVING VETERAN HOMELESSNESS REQUIRES GENUINE ACTION, & PUBLIC TRUST FOR THE VETERAN FAMILY IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.


It is time that the Veterans Administration, the government and state officials be held accountable for not keeping the land for what it’s intended purpose of housing disabled Veterans. It is time that VA acknowledge their actions and be transparent. It is time they step up to the home plate and face the Veterans of this nation, stop pretending they don’t know how to play ball, because they have been playing ball all along but for the other teams and not the teams they should been batting for. The VA grants leases, well below market rate rents, to non-Veteran entities who provide no services for Veterans. The EUL (Enhanced Use Leases), requires the leased property is supposed to primarily benefit Veterans.  Most of the tenants on the homeland provided no services at all to Veterans, they merely took up space at a steal.


We are tired of the VA, government and state officials trying to pull the wool over our eyes. We want honesty, we want clarity, we want transparency and we want our Veterans of this nation taken care of. Stand we will, quiet we won’t be…we are here to advocate for the Veterans of this nation. And we will stand our ground, we will continue to be loud and we will not let them get away with putting our Veterans on the back burner. 


Veterans and their families must be integral in decision making, permanent deed restrictions must be recognized and enforced, and the National Soldiers home must be recognized as a representation of our country’s obligation and accountability towards its Veterans. 


This Nationwide petition has been created to correct this “American Injustices”. Yes, you read it correctly! This fight to restore the promise of this land has been ongoing for decades, administration after administration has put this fight on the back burner, leaving our Veterans on the streets with no care or our disabled Veterans in improper housing that does not have adequate handicap accessible ramps, doors, and living quarters. We are constantly getting promises, promises of fixing the system, fixing the problems, promises that are completely empty because those in this Nations Administration wants to silence those who bring forth the facts.


To achieve our goal, we are seeking over one million signatures from Veterans, their families, and their supporters. We sincerely thank you for your support.


We need your help!!! We need this “American Injustice” brought out into the media’s hands. It takes funds to have articles put into the newspapers, it takes funds to get interviews such as radio, tv, and pod cast. We take these funds out of our own pockets and sometimes we aren’t able to do as much as we need to get done. Please stand with us, for us…these Veterans.


Veterans wore the uniform of service for country to protect the nation, now we are asking you to help them by helping us to correct the “American Injustice”. 


The U.S. government shall launch an immediate moratorium of disingenuous third-party contractors & the evictions of interlopers, restoration of genuine oversight that equally includes the veteran family.  These contractors seem to drive the cost of rehabilitating the existing housing units up and further make every attempt to place Veterans in low quality housing that is far away from the home, and from their needed medical facility. What is worse, the staff that is hired to care for the residents seem to think their main job is to abuse and torture Veterans literally. These people need to be replaced with care givers that truly care for the well-being of our Veterans. The “interlopers” have elevated themselves to the false claim of being the stake holders. The ONLY STAKE HOLDERS ARE DISABLED VETERANS AND IT IS HIGH TIME OUR DISABLED VETERANS BE PUT FIRST AND TREATED WITH THE DIGNITY THEY HAVE EARNED.
