Chief Petty Officer Nestor Lazaga, 53, and his son, Petty Officer 3rd Class Mark Lazaga, 22, stand side by side at Camp Taqaddum, Iraq. The father and son were recently reunited in Iraq, however, their tours will only overlap by a month. Mark is preparing to return to Camp Pendleton, while Nestor has just arrived in country for a seven-month tour. During Mark's deployment he did everything from conducting daily sick calls to corpsman coverage in convoys. Nestor will fill the role of leading chief petty officer of the medical aid station for Brigade Service Support Group 1, the headquarters element of the 1st Marine Logistics Group. The two feel they will become much closer to each other and communicate better because they will have both undergone a deployment and will be able to identify with each other.
