U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Dagin Johnson, an automotive maintenance technician, assigned to Truck Company, 23rd Marine Regiment, poses for a portrait during Integrated Training Exercise 4-22 at Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif., July 26, 2022. Johnson, from Ogden, Utah, performs aircraft maintenance with the U.S. Air Force as a civilian. “I never really wanted to actually get out [of the Marine Corps], but I wanted to try my own thing. I went back to the Reserves because I missed the boys. I missed doing my job with my guys. All in all, it's just the cohesion, the camaraderie, that you don't get on the outside. You know how Marines are: we're brothers.” Marines and Sailors with Marine Air Ground Task Force 23 maintain various civilian careers while continuing to answer the irrational call to service in the Marine Corps Reserve.
