| I
recently had the great pleasure and honor of visiting Bravo Company, 1st Tank Battalion,
1st Mar Div at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, 29 Palms, California. I was the
guest of 1st Lt. Robert Bodisch Platoon Commander of the 2nd Platoon (Outlaws). The
Tankers of Bravo Company are highly trained, highly motivated and highly dedicated, as
fine a group of Marines as I've ever met!. My visit was among the most motivational and memorable experiences I have had in many moons. My thanks to Lt. Bodisch and the USMC Tankers of Bravo Company for their hospitality and kindness. |
