Youtube After graduation from Marine boot camp, we were sent to Camp Pendleton for Infantry combat training. The road going past our regimental area was Basilone Road, which meant nothing to any of us. Now I can appreciate it.
Camp San Onofre section of Camp Pendleton Marine Base

The account does not jibe with the portrayal in the movie, however.
