Marine Corps SIGINT association
The Marine Corps SIGINT association is a registered non profit corporation that consists of former 2600 professionals that advocate for the 2600 community and veterans
Updated May 15 2025
The Marine Corps SIGINT association was created after the unfortunate events of 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, 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 the veteran communities around the United States. What we have found is many areas that can be improved on. We never want to see any veteran deal with the things Jordan had to at the VA. We cant change what happened to Jordan but we can ensure safe guards are put in place so other veterans don’t have to deal with the same issues and accountability is had 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 new coverage on Jordan Hunkin’s story until the VA is held accountable and responsible change in procedures is implicated.
Secondary Goal: Work with the Marine Corps leadership to have the 2600 course materials at the Marine Corps Intelligence school house evaluated so the courses can be transferred for college credit. Work with Air Force leadership at Goodfellow Air Base to have the courses Marines go through there assume the same college credits the Air Force currently gets. This hasn’t happened since the beginning of SMART that started in the early 90s and has persisted through the transition to ACE and present day. It will take time but we do see movement on the issue since this organization has brought it back into the spotlight with the Marine side leadership.
Update 4-15-2025: The MCIS school house is moving to accredit the 2651 course and are working out the issues to ACE accredit the other 2600 courses at Goodfellow. Full details to come soon.
Updated 5-14-2025: The MCIS school House has sent an update for Marines that went through any version of 2600 courses at Goodfellow Air Base. This is not a permanant fix. The end goal is to have Marines Joint service Transcripts updated automatically like the other MOS’s and other Branches. https://2651usmc.com/uncategorized/2600-goodfellow-courses/
Third Goal: Archive as many of the former Marine Corps Cryptologic associations and private websites dealing with Marine SIGINT and Cryptoloy as we can before the information is gone. Currently a lot of privately owned websites are disappearing from the internet. The generation of Marines that were the Cryptologist are quickly moving on so it is extremely important that the younger generation the 2600s gather as many of their stories and information as we can. We have been able to grab some information from the wayback machine and we have communication with some Cryptologist and 2600s that ran previous organizations. we will continue to find as many old stories and testimonials as we can and archive them for future audiences.
