Congratulations, YM/SgtMaj Begines—Oorah!
Overnighter: Murray Farm
Thank you Murray Farm for hosting again this year’s Lewis & Clark Young Marines overnighter week-end! Young Marines had a great time camping, making ice cream, doing the obstacle course and playing in the creek! Our recruit class was also able to join in on the fun as well this weekend – though separately! They had their classes outdoors, their first day in woodland camouflage uniform, and they bonded with teambuilding activities like line push-ups!
