GySgt. Soukhi Forbes received her complimentary,  one-year membership in the USMCCCA from her new boss, Maj. Neil Murphy, during graduation ceremonies at Defense Information School earlier this fall.  The pair forms the OIC-PA Chief leadership team at the Corps’ Big Apple shop in Manhattan, which also includes currently-enrolled PAOC student Capt. Lauren Schulz.  It was a homecoming for Murphy:  the selected lieutenant colonel is a former commanding officer of the DINFOS Marine Detachment.

Maryland Chapter president SSgt. Tiffany Carter credits “the vision and persistence of former national presidents Mike Pitts, Don Gee and Red Carpenter” for  making the CCs’ comp membership program a mainstay of DINFOS life.

Any Combat Camera or Public Affairs OICs or NCOICs whose reporting troops did not receive their free, one-year enrollment for completion of a Defense Information School qualification course are encouraged to contact CCHQ (usmccca@cfl.rr.com).
