Staff Sgt. Osman Mendoza, left, the 8th Communications Battalion transmission chief, and Petty Officer 2nd Class David Rodriguez, a corpsman with the battalion, watch as tower climbers conduct preventative maintenance on a communications tower at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, April 18. Four Marines are responsible for keeping Internet and phone communications running for Camp Leatherneck, Camp Dwyer and a myriad of other patrol and forward operating bases in Helmand and Nimroz Provinces. After a recent thunderstorm, the Marines had to climb the 150-foot tall tower to help restore communications.
