This is a photo of a United States Marine manning the radio wearing full Mission Oriented Protective Posture Gear. This was my last exercise in Okinawa, Japan before finishing my tour. I was with 1st Stinger Battery from Camp Futenma. This Marine and I were on Radio Watch when we got the siren to go to MOPP Level 4. The command is Gas, Gas, Gas and it is nothing to ignore. Manning the radio can be tough with all this gear on because you can barely hear anything through the mask. I remember going through Nuclear Biological Chemical Warfare School and we had to play basketball with all this gear on. Luckily it wasn't too hot only about 80 something degrees.
That's all I have for today and thank you for reading!
Semper Fidelis,
Manuel Perez
