Ryan Forbes, second from left, a 13 year-old native of San Diego, talks with Marines about the M777 lightweight howitzer at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms May 13, 2014. Forbes was an honorary Marine for a day with Lima Battery, 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, and learned about the weapons systems and lifestyles of the Marines. He was accompanied by his parents and brother, and attended training with the battery, participating in drills and eating lunch with a section. Forbes has wanted to join the military for several years and spends time learning about the different branches. He was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a form of brain cancer in January. His diagnosis and current treatment for medullablastoma hasnt hampered his enthusiasm for the military.
