Captain William Kemp, 1st Force Storage Battalion Supply officer, organized the staff noncommisioned officer Field Meet for the Marines at the McCarver Hall Fitness Center aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB) - Barstow, CA. May 31. Marines were placed into red and blue teams and competed against one another in several challenges including trivia, basketball, weights, pull-ups, tug-o-war, and more. Field meets are a customary tradition in every Battalion throughout the Marine Corps and have been in existence for at least a century, tracing back to World War I, and possibly even earlier. Marines possess inherent pride and athleticism, coupled with the mental fortitude required for various levels of competition. These events provide Marines with a chance to engage in friendly competition, showcasing their abilities, while also fostering camaraderie and strengthening esprit de corps.
