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.

Base Ops 'glue' to MCLB machine

The Operations and Training Division is the glue behind the hundreds of activities that happen on and off the Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany installation.

Marines and civilian-Marines from various commands aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany sported blue shirts and denim jeans for one day only in support of sexual assault awareness

Base Commanding Officer Col. James C. Carroll III, authorized the wearing of denim by active-duty Marines to support National Denim Day. “It was an inspiring day towards remembering sexual assault victims and their plight to be supported and strengthened toward justice and fair treatment from our community and our society at large,” said Marcus White, coordinator, Sexual Assault Response Program, MCLB Albany. Denim Day began as an international protest to the Italian Supreme Court’s overruling of a rape conviction in 1999. During this case, an Italian woman was raped and her assailant was found guilty, but the conviction was later overturned. The defense used the argument that the victim must have helped the assailant remove her tight jeans, thus suggesting that since the jeans were so tight there was no way the assailant could have removed the jeans without the victim’s cooperation and assistance.

Field Day Safety Video

Field Day is a Marine Corps tradition that is conducted weekly to uphold good order and discipline. For many Marines living in the barracks, Field Day is crucial to developing good housekeeping habits that can carry on for the rest of their lives.

This video brings attention to a separate aspect of Field Day; numerous false fire alarms that occur during Field Day at MCLB Albany.

Here are four safety rules Marines should keep in mind:

1) Do not smoke or vape in your room.

2) Be careful when cleaning around fire alarms. Alarms can be triggered when hit.

3) Exercise extreme caution when cooking in your rooms. Too much smoke will set off the fire alarm.

4) Do not ignore fire alarms, Marines! Evacuate the building immediately. Utilize the fire escape plans that are in place.
