LCpl Alexi L. Budoff is seen here troubleshooting the Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT Medium), a two-way satellite ground station. This is necessary as part of her training within Ground Radio Repair Course to provide critical troubleshooting information for later use identifying the broken component to be sent in for repairs. LCpl Budoff will attain the MOS 2841 and become a Radio Repairer. The Marine will then move on to the Fleet Marine Force to provide technical support to the communication field.

On January 13, 2017 Second Lieutenant Clark Kreitzer, a Marine attached to Combat Engineer Officer course 1-17 (CEO 1-17); practices using a VMR-2 Minehound. The VMR-2 is a compact , dual sensor explosive hazard detector. This device is designed for the detection of buried or submerged high metallic, low metallic, and non-metallic explosive hazards. This piece of equipment is particularly important because of its ability to detect enemy IED’s, which have become the largest threat to our military forces.
