Building Leadership, Teamwork, and Confidence
Story by SSgt John Paramadilok, USMCR
YM/SSgt Bailey and other fellow Young Marines cover a period of instruction for the new Young Marine Recruits as part of the first quarter bootcamp session. The knowledge and experience that a Young Marine aquires is used to enhance individual leadership skills among their peers. This also builds teamwork and confidence as each Young Marine is challanged to excel through through one of the program's key component, mental stamina. Drill, promotion tests, and physical training are some of the activities that keep the mind constantly working while the Young Marines are in a training session.

Federal Firefighters and Emergency Medical Response
Story by SSgt John Paramadilok, USMCR
Giving medical aid is one of the many job functions and responsiblities as a Federal Firefighter. The San Diego Young Marines had an opportunity to observe and see, first-hand, some of the tools and equipment utilized on board an ambulance that services military facilities. Federal Firefighters Horton and Fowler demonstrated the use of devices that help sustain life as well as the equipment that transport people to the ambulance, which will then take them to the hospital to receive the necessary medical attention. The Young Marines also had a chance to sit in the back of the ambulance to see how things work and what the Federal Firefighters do as first medical responders.
