MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. - Marines across the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing know all about the Committed and Engaged Leadership Initiative, but at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., they don’t always get the opportunity to hear about it.
Maj. Gen. Steven Busby, commanding general of 3rd MAW, extended his hand to one of the few wing squadrons at MCAGCC Twentynine Palms, during a breakfast at his home aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., Aug. 22.
Busby spoke with the Marines about how the unmanned aerial vehicle squadrons are slated to change and how to help solve problems in their unit.
"The big issue is sexual assault and harassment, "said Sgt. Donald Araujo, an imagery analyst with Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 3 and a Daytona Beach, Fla., native."It's important to bring back the knowledge that was passed here today, enforce it to our subordinates and get involved on a personal level with our Marines while expressing 'dignity and respect'."
The Marines of VMU-3, coming from multiple military occupational specialties, hope to bring this experience back to their Marines.
"It was a great opportunity," said Araujo. "I don't think many Marines get a chance to come and talk face-to-face with the commanding general at his home. I was able to learn a bit about his way of thinking and future plans toward the Marine Corps, which is a rare experience."
