By YM LCPL Zoie Alford Desert AZ I had the privilege of attending the seminar The Marines All of the Marines Womens leadership in the United States Marine Corps during the Marine Week in Phoenix AZ. It was an honor meeting the USMC BGen Helen G. Pratt LtCol Tif- fany Harris Maj Amy Punzel Capt Evita Mosqueda-Chapman Capt Alison Weeks and 1st Lt Kanika Childers. I really enjoyed it because they an- swered most of the questions I had... Such as How does being deployed af- fect the family and relationships back home They shared several stories of how simple motivation goes a long way and how working as a team can get you anywhere. They stated that as a female you have to prove yourself a lot in or- der to be respected. It was an honor meeting the female Marines I hope to become a Marine someday. Thank you again for the great seminar. Learning About Womens Leadership at Marine Week Young Marines attended a seminar about womens leadership in the Marine Corps. By YMSSgt Keelie McCain Desert AZ During Marine Week I participat- ed in a community service project at Indian Steele Park in Phoenix AZ. YMGySgt Whitaker YMLCpl Al- ford and I and other volunteers helped some U.S. Marines in cleaning up the park and garden area next to the Phoenix VA Hos- pital for a Marine Week project. While at the park we assisted with cleaning the area of all the weeds to get it ready for others to add plantings. There was also an- other project that was completed that spelled out PHX RENEWS. The letters were made with laun- dry soap containers and wire. Al- though it was hot and hard work it was well worth it. We were able to meet a lot of nice Marines and two Arizona Dia- mondback Players pitchers Josh Collmenter and Keith Hessler. Marine Week A Time to Perform Community Service too Diamondbacks and Young Marines in Phoenix AZ. I Had a Chance to Learn About Drones at Marine Week By YMCpl Nickolas Muoz Desert AZ During Marine Week I learned that Marines were utilizing drones and they are used to scout out areas. The Ma- rines were allowed to paint their as- signed drone and had they had a cool looking face on the front. The drones could only be flown in clear weather since it had high tech electronics in it and the plane was not waterproof. These drones use a launcher or cata- pult to get airborne. The drone team consists of a team of Marines and they used two travel vehicles for the drone. One vehicle was to maneuver the drone its equipped with computers and the other to carry the drone. It was so fun to learn about these drones. The drones were just one of the many things I was able to learn about at Marine Week it was so cool to be able to go and to meet Marines and learn some of the cool things they do in the Marine Corps.
