 During the week of April 18th to 22nd, Tenant Commands of Board Marine Corps Base Quantico participated in the base-wide spring cleanup in order to maintain a safe, healthy and effective environment for all Marines, sailors and government employees who work and live on the base. The purpose of this event is to maintain the professional appearance of the base and properly dispose of trash and debris, which has accumulated along the base perimeter. This year we had a lot of spectacular support for the spring cleanup. Pretty much every Tenant unit across base supported. I mean, we got dedicated time to do it every year, but I try to do it all year long, even now through the winter and everything. If I see it, I pick it up. Everybody likes to live by a clean home and, you know, people are going to be stationed here for a few years, so base becomes your second home, so I feel like it's everybody's responsibility and duty to, you know, come out with the community, get involved with your peers, clean up your base. So it just makes things healthier, makes things look better. It's important to keep our base clean because, first, this is where we all live or work, and it's our base and our responsibility. A lot of times we often think we see someone else will do it, but we need to be that somebody. So it's important to make sure that we have a beautiful place that we live and we do our part to make sure that we keep our areas clean.
