Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Tyson Riccio, a lab technician aboard amphibious transport dock USS Nashville (LPD 13), explains to a Sailor the four areas of her cheek to swab to properly collect DNA samples for bone marrow testing. The samples are sent to the C.W. Bill Young Department of Defense Bone Marrow Center laboratory to be put into the National Marrow Donor Program Registry. There are more than 400,000 DOD personnel from all branches of service and their families registered to possibly save someone's life.
