MARINE CORPS AIR STATION BEAUFORT, S.C. - Marine Air Control Squadron 2, Detachment A, held a turkey bowl tournament at the softball fields aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Nov. 21.
The turkey bowl was meant to serve as an activity in which Marines could build esprit de corps and camaraderie.
“Best morale booster all year long,” said Lance Cpl. Joshua Dodiehl, a communication technician for MACS-2. “It’s a great way to blow off steam and build camaraderie.”
“This whole thing was about getting together to do something fun,” said Gunnery Sgt. Quentin Bolin, the air traffic control operations chief for MACS-2. “Everyone got into their teams and started having a blast.”
There were six teams playing in the turkey bowl: motor transportation, radar, navigational aids, communications and two headquarters teams.
The championship game was the Lion’s Den versus The Kings. By the end of the game, the Lion’s Den came out on top to win the championship with a final score of 46 to 17. The Lion’s Den beat The Kings in their first game but The Kings were unfortunate in beating the Lion’s Den.
“We are out here just having fun,” said Lance Cpl. Charles Hadley, an air traffic controller for MACS-2. “This is something different, something new and the competition itself makes for a little more fun and a little more growth.”
Each game for the turkey bowl lasted 40 minutes.
“We wanted this to serve as a reminder that Marines are people too,” said Bolin. “We enjoy doing things other than having to work. This is us coming out playing football during football season and having a good time.”
Marine Air Control Squadron 2, Detachment A is planning to hold a corn hole tournament and a volleyball tournament in the future.
