“On my first field op, I didn’t bring a headlamp. All I had was a moonbeam, one of the ones they give you in bootcamp. I put it in my mag pouch. The section got a kick out of, they thought it was hilarious. That’s why they call me ‘Moonbeam’.”
This training involved various components of the GCE, including mortars, artillery, and combined anti-armor teams. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Harrison Rakhshani)
