Seaman Brad Monroe, a hospital corpsman with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 362, assists in a clean-up of Fort Hase Beach, Oct. 10. “It’s important to take care of the environment,” said the 25-year-old native of Southaven, Miss. “We should keep the city trash where the city is.” Monroe plans to be transitioned to Marine Air-Ground Task Force medical after his unit is deactivated. “The ‘Ugly Angels’ are legendary,” Monroe said. “The end of one place is a good beginning for another.” More than 30 members of HMH-362 spent several hours cleaning up Fort Hase Beach and Mokapu Central Drainage Channel. The Ugly Angels collected and removed a great deal of trash including four 5-ton vehicle tires, two microwaves, a 32-inch flat screen TV, a video game console, a bicycle, a fire extinguisher, a crutch, a safety cone, an ironing board and many bottles. As the squadron nears deactivation, many of the Ugly Angels are currently on leave, while others are already training for their next duty. The remaining Ugly Angels took some time to help the base by arranging this clean-up. “We’re lucky that we were able to take a little break in our training here and do something positive to contribute to the base and this beautiful environment that we have here,” said Maj. Dan Rubel, the executive officer of HMH-362.
