CHERRY POINT, N.C. - As the noncommissioned officer-in-charge of operations and training for Marine Attack Training Squadron 203, Cpl. Kovoski T. George, maintains and prepares training records for pilots and Marines.

George, an Albany, Georgia native, enjoys keeping up with flight hours. Taking an interest in math, George ensures flight hours are correct, counting and verifying unit logs for VMAT-203’s command chronology and training plans.

As part of his duties, George also prepares training schedules for physical fitness tests, rifle ranges and combat fitness tests, yearly requirements for all Marines. He said one of the biggest challenges of his job is knowing the order for PFTs and CFTs.

Off duty, George likes to write and perform stand-up comedy and go to the gym. George has performed in New Bern, N.C. and in Yuma, Ariz. and plans to pursue comedy after his Marine Corps service.

“On my off time I write jokes and I write poetry,” said George. “I also go to the gym and stay in shape to stay healthy.”

George said that he is happy to have his job and enjoys working with his fellow Marines.
