It’s one thing to plan an event on a military installation, but another to pull it off successfully, and with the acceptance of various chains of command. 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.

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.

Dozens of hard-charging Marines put their physical strength to the test during the first-ever Marine team challenge aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, Apr. 27, 2018. The Marine Corps Community Services Semper Fit sponsored a 3-mile obstacle course to measure the Marines strength, endurance, marksmanship and strategy.

“We want to keep them motivated, we want to build camaraderie, and we want to teach them to work together in stressful situations,” Whitney Hendrix, coordinator, Fitness & Health Program, Marine Corps Community Services, explained.

Five teams of Marines signed up for the challenge, with one being an all-female team who called themselves Wonder Women.

“We’re going to give it all we got, we’re going to cross the finish line no matter what the scoreboard says, and we’re out here to show that we can do it,” said 1stLt. Delaney Bourlakov, adjutant, MCLB Albany.

Like the other teams, Bourlakov had no clue of what to expect from the course.

In fact, the participants got a brief rundown of the events just a few minutes before the challenge started at 8 a.m.

From Covella Pond to the Skeet Range, the three-mile course included five different events like flipping tires, performing pushups and even pushing a high mobility multi-wheeled vehicle nearly 50 yards.

And with four all-male teams, the Wonder Women were sure to strategize.

The entire team was decked out in candy paint, and if that didn’t boost their spirits, one member even had a speaker stashed away in a camelbak blasting motivating music throughout the challenge.

Through blood, sweat and tears, every team gave it their best shot.

“Nothing but teamwork, motivation…teamwork is probably the best thing, I mean this is what Marines do,” Sgt. Brian Harrington, administrative clerk, Military Personnel, MCLB Albany, of Rapid Retraction team remarked.

Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their families should be aware that what they and others share about them online can place them in jeopardy. Any information that identifies an affiliation with the Department of Defense could make personnel a potential target of terrorist groups or a lone-wolf radical.
