Recreational mobility kits, books deploy with troops

Anonymous Patron shares this announcement from the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar:

Deployed Miramar Marines and Sailors with some spare time on their hands at the end of a duty day have a source for recreational equipment and recycled reading material through recreational mobility kits.

“Marine Corps Community Services has been providing mobility kits with recreation equipment and books to deploying units from Miramar,” said Anne Panattoni, Semper Fit director, MCCS.

“Since February, we have put together eight kits and have sent more than 500 books to (3rd Marine Aircraft Wing) Marines in Iraq, and we have more ready to go now. If a unit about to deploy would like to take one with them, then that unit’s recreational officer should contact us or the Outdoor Adventure Center manager.”

The request for a kit must be submitted in writing at least two weeks prior to deployment and must also outline the approximate length of deployment, according to MCCS1710.12B.
