CC Executive Director Jack Paxton was guest speaker for DINFOS’ graduating Intermediate Public Affairs Specialist Course (IPASC) on Feb. 2. When school commandant, Col. Jeremy Martin, presented our chief administrator with a certificate of appreciation, Jack turned the tables and bestowed upon Martin a one-year complimentary membership.

Col. Martin, who took the DINFOS reins just before Christmas, is a loyal friend of the Corps’ public affairs and visual information communities (as demonstrated in his recent remarks at the MarDet change of command here).

In addition to wowing his audience with tales of Korea and Vietnam vintage war stories,  Jack also helped present diplomas to those graduating from the two-week course, Sgt.  Vanessa American Horse among them.

Other CCs  participating in the event included Bob Jordan, who gave the invocation; course coordinator Gunnery Sgt. Josh Higgins; former national president Keith Oliver; DivPA plans chief Master Sgt. Joe Espinosa and Academic Director John Olmstead.  (DoD photos by by famed Desert Storm lensman Rick Corral)
