Young Corporal Follows Dream of Leading Marines

Cpl. Michael Kean, a landing support specialist with Combat Logistics Regiment 45, is considered an “outstanding Marine” by his superiors and respected by his peers because of his commitment to working above and beyond his required duties and ability to lead the Marines under his charge throughout his career and during Integrated Training Exercise 4-14. ITX 4-14 is a cornerstone of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Training Program and is the largest annual Marine Corps Reserve training exercise that helps sharpen skills for Reserve units. Kean’s ultimate goal is to one day become a Marine officer after gaining more experience leading Marines as a noncommissioned officer. (Photo by Sgt. Adwin Esters/Released) 141306-M-JL916-108
