    Marines with the 81 mm mortar section, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7, rehearse before the start of a live-fire exercise as part of their monthly reset training here, July 17, 2013. “We train like this constantly on Camp Lejeune with mortar systems, but training here gives it a new perspective,” said Cpl. Nathan A. Waits, a 23-year-old native of Cincinnati, and a vehicle commander with the 81 mm mortar section. “After this training evolution, we’ll be better prepared to continue our missions.”
