“It brings the community together,”
said Shayla Crowbar, a military spouse
and mother. “It lets you get to know each
other and meet other families of the air
station.”
Seaman Leighton Francis, a logistics
specialist with H&HS disc jockeyed at
the event. The entire event came together
with the help of volunteers. The
volunteers manned the refreshments tables,
cooked on the grill and helped with
set up and take down after the event.“I think this event builds camaraderie within the unit,”
said Sgt. McCoy Herold, armory chief with H&HS. “It
lets everyone come together and meet face to face. The
shops show and meet, the families meet, and the kids
meet. It builds a better environment with the unit.”
Colonel Peter Buck, commanding officer of Marine
Corps Air Station Beaufort also raffled off a free 72
hour liberty. Marines attending the event had to sign a
roster and be present at the end of the party when the
winner’s name was drawn.
“The raffle was a way for the CO to give back to the
Marines for how hard they work,” said Sgt. Felicia
White, a postal clerk with H&HS. “Events like this allow
Marines to interact with their command and voice
their opinions. Normally they don’t get to see their
higher-ups. I think that here they got to see their command
in a different light.”
The event was a chance for Marines and their families
to relax and come together before the busy school
year starts. H&HS hosted the event to promote unit cohesion.
