- The military says a sailor based at Camp Lejeune was killed while conducting a patrol in Afghanistan.
The Defense Department said Sunday that 25-year-old Petty Officer Brian Lundy of Austin, Texas, died Friday while conducting a dismounted patrol in Marjah, Helmand province. Lundy was assigned as a Hospital Corpsman to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune.

Good Luck to all of them!
Not sure who started the link above w/class number but how do we go about getting our class number for the Oct class?
God hold them close at this time of sorrow
My son will stay in Cherry Point after FMTB, or at least that is what the plan is as of now. Of course things can change but I hope not. He really seems to like it there so far, He is suppose to rotate to the clinic today and work.
Also please keep the family and friends in prayer of a fallen Corpsman..
