 Marines and sailors, the Battalion Landing Team, First Battalion, Fourth Marines, and Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, sacrificed their shore leave time by visiting children on the Paddy Orphanage. With the BLT visiting on one day and the CLB on another, the service members voluntarily switched gears from combat training to community outreach following the multilateral exercise Cobra Gold 2012. We've done military operations around Thailand and we just wanted to take the time to help the community. We much rather be out here than just wasting away time. I much rather be out here doing something that I love to do, something that can help. After playing with the children for most of the day, the service members demonstrated drill techniques and sang the Marines' hymn. Paddyah, Thailand.
