Marines qualify for combat pistol program
Dozens of Marines from various tenant commands aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany practiced and some even qualified for the Combat Pistol Program with the Beretta M9 service pistol, March 27. Pistol qualification is required annually to sustain the skills of pistol marksmanship. In order to ensure Marines are properly trained with the weapon, the Marine Corps utilizes the Combat Pistol Program. One of the hallmarks of the CPP is how the first two stages of qualification start with the weapon in the holster, requiring the Marine to present the weapon and engage the target in one motion -- this gives the training a more combat-oriented and tactical approach. Following classroom instruction and non-fire sessions, Marines participate in live-fire drills -- training blocks one through three. During these training blocks, range coaches have the opportunity to mentor and guide Marines, which result in a more qualified, skilled and effective Marine with the service pistol. The CPP is just one of the ways the Marine Corps has made training more realistic and combat-oriented to better prepare Marines. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Re-Essa Buckels)

Base mission continues before, during, after hurricane
Strong wind gusts from Hurricane Michael snapped hundreds of trees, violently blew debris and toppled dozens of power lines. But damages at Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany paled in comparison to the vast devastation experienced from the EF3 tornado that touched down here in January 2017. And it’s likely the reason personnel aboard the installation were prepared to take the necessary steps to keep the mission going for the logistics base and its tenant organizations.

Latest Announcements

Commanding Officer's Town Hall meetings (3 Sessions)

A series of town hall meetings will take place at the Base Theater Jan. 30, 2020. There will be three sessions: civilian employees and tenant organizations aboard MCLB Albany will be able to pick whether they will attend the session #1 or session #2 and military families are designated to attend session #3. These sessions were designed so the commanding officer can provide an update on the current direction of the base, address any concerns and provide a forum for open discussions. For any questions, please call Roosevelt Howard at 229-639-5202.

  • Session #1: 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. (civilian workforce/tenant organizations)
  • Session #2: 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. (civilian workforce/tenant organizations)
  • Session #3: 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. (military personnel and families)

Sharing the road with school buses

School days bring congestion: school buses are picking up their passengers and harried parents are trying to drop their kids off before work. It's never more important for drivers to slow down and pay attention than when kids are present – especially before and after school. If you're driving behind a bus, allow a greater following distance than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing. It is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children.

  • Never pass a bus from behind – or from either direction if you're on an undivided road – if it is stopped to load or unload children
  • If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop
  • The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus
  • Be alert; children often are unpredictable, and they tend to ignore hazards and take risks

For more information on back to school safety tips for drivers, please visit: https://www.nsc.org/home-safety/seasonal-safety/back-to-school/drivers

MCLB Albany Order 5560.9E Chap. 6-18 states "drivers who pass a stopped school bus that is actively engaged in discharging or admitting passengers could face the penalty of possible loss of base driving privileges." For more information, please call the MCPD at (229) 639-5181.

Simply Fit with Semper Fit

Starting Jan. 27, teams of seven compete to lose weight. Group workouts are offered and encouraged on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The top three teams with the most percentage of body weight lost will be awarded prizes. The competition ends Mar. 9. For more information, call 229-639-6234.

Prescribed Burning

Natural Resources will begin conducting prescribed burns aboard MCLB Albany beginning on Jan. 6. Prescribed burn season typically runs from January until June or July. The initial prescribed burn will be conducted in the forested area east of Sutherland Road between North Perimeter Road, Pistol Range Road, and Quail Call Road on Jan. 6, depending upon weather conditions. Natural Resources burns under weather conditions that minimize the impact of smoke across the installation; however, expect to encounter residual smoke, see smoke plumes, and encounter active burn sites along roadsides intermittently throughout the burn season. Please expect an active burn season as Natural Resources anticipates burning approximately 1,000 acres between now and the end of burn season. For more information, please call Natural Resources by email Julie.m.robbins@usmc.mil, or call 229-639-9946 if you have any questions or concerns.

Base Theater New Hours of Operation

Beginning Jan. 17, the base theater’s hours of operation will be Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 7 p.m. and occasional Saturday matinees at 1 p.m. For more information, please call 229-639-5166.
