Combat Veteran Marines Participate in Community Relations Event with Columbia College Chicago Students.
Sgt. Maj. Oscar D. Jordan, inspector and instructor sergeant major with 2nd Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve speaks to Columbia College Chicago students about the global war on terrorism during an informal discussion at their training center in Chicago, Jan. 20, 2016. During the event, the Marines and students were separated into small groups where they began to talk and share personal stories and experiences about their military career. Many Americans, like the majority of these students, do not have regular interactions with Marines. As the most geographically dispersed command in the Marine Corps, however, Marine Forces Reserve is uniquely positioned to have these kinds of community interactions.
