Flashback Friday

BACK WHEN -- Captains Riccoh Player (left) and John Dodd are shown celebrating the Corps' birthday with their mentor, Master Gunnery Sgt.Dave Marriott, at Camp Lejeune, circa 1997. Player, now a lieutenant colonel, is the Senior Marine at Defense Information School. His now-retired running mate, Dodd, teaches there also and both CCs hold the Master Instructor designation (an earned honor accorded only six current faculty members). Dave Marriott is also retired and is PAO-ing at Cherry Point's Naval Aviation Depot.
