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.
