 Marine Attack Squadron 214 is departing to join the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit as they prepare for deployment. Right now we have the remainder of the 11th Mu heading out, the pilots are going to be taken off and meeting out with the ship so that they marry up with the main body and they go to the 11th Mu going on deployment. 214 is part of the air combat element, provides the close air support for the Marines in case they're needed. It can be difficult for families to cope with the absence of their loved ones. The most important thing to remember is they're professionals, they know what they're doing and also that if they run into any issues out there while the Marines are gone, keep your family ready until officer recalls, they usually get to the heart of the matter and take care of it real quick. I'm Sergeant Daniel Malta, Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma.
