By YMGySgt Danyel Tobias Albany GA As always the beginning of the year goes by super fast but I never imagined it to happen this quickly. Usually everyone is lagging and nothing happens the way its intended to but 2015 is a time of change for the Albany Young Marines. The Albany Young Marines started their year off with a full schedule. There was an encampment community service and fundraisers. Each activity had an outstanding number of Young Marines in attendance. The Battalion Encampment was held at Camp John Hope In Fort Val- ley Georgia It was a busy three day two night encampment. We started Friday by meeting and getting to know each other. Saturday morning was filled with PT breakfast DDR and CPR classes.After lunch we went to the gun rangewhere the Young Marines had the opportunity to qual- ify for their marksmanship ribbons. Later on we participated in a land navigation course. After dinner we were given a knife safety and camping safety class that we would end by telling stories around the campfire and roasting marshmallows and hot dogs. Sunday we had fun time where the Young Marines played basketball volleyball tug-o-war and other activities. It all came to an end when the units had to leave and head for home. That was January. February flew by too.The Albany Young Marines had a successful PFT followed by a community service project for Valentines Day.The unit went to a local assisted living home where Young Marines handed out Valentine cards and donated a large fruit basket for the residents to enjoy. While we were there the Young Marines listened to stories from the residents and told the residence about themselves.The Albany Young Marines have been busy and we are not slowing down. We have paradesmore community service projects and classes planned for full and an active year ahead.
