    Two military personnel in full combat gear are crouched behind a concrete block wall, appearing to consult or coordinate with each other. Both are wearing MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms, tactical vests, helmets with goggles, and face protection, consistent with U.S. Marine Corps equipment. The setting appears to be a training environment or urban operations area with cinder block structures.

    Staff Sgt. Gregory Weber, a motor transportation chief operator with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, Alpha Company, and a 30-year-old native of Portland, Ore., instructs Cpl. Nathaniel Walker, a motor transportation line operator with 7th ESB, 1st MLG, Alpha Co., and a 21-year-old native of South Portland, Maine, on the proper method of throwing a grenade, Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013 on Range 202, here. The Marines conducted several practice runs before training with live grenades. Grenade training is essential for mission readiness. “Every Marine needs to know how to properly deploy a grenade so they don’t cause harm to themselves or other Marines around them while deployed,” said Weber. The company is set to deploy later this year.
