 Marines with Marine Wing Communication Squadron 38 participated in various live fire events as a unique twist for Marines coming back from the holidays as part of annual training aboard Marine Corps based Camp Pendleton, California January 6th through the 8th. This puts us out of our comfort zone there's logistics involved there's accountability obviously involved with you know transporting you know 45 miles up here to Camp Pendleton and training we pretty much you know move up here you know get the guys like I said get them out of their comfort zone and get them out of their primary MOS and put them back into that you know basic warfighter capability you know that basic rifleman capability. The training allowed the Marines to expand their knowledge on subjects ranging from sexual assault prevention to nutrition while still being able to maintain a warrior mentality Yes. Marines definitely get complacent right after coming back from a long weekend extended period you know the last thing they want to do is go to the field so putting them in the cold making a shoot some rounds down range and give them some classes definitely helps Reporting for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing I'm Corporal Owen Kimberle
