California marines train on big island
Wahiawa native is piper in chief to the presidents
Marines with the 1st Battalion, 1st Marines out of Camp Pendleton, Calif., trained recently at the Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island, while the San Diego-based USS Boxer Expeditionary Strike Group was in Pearl Harbor.
The six-ship strike group is headed to the Middle East. Marines practiced helicopter insertions and trained with mortars (below and left) while Cobra and Huey helicopters provided live-fire close-air support (bottom). The Boxer left Pearl Harbor Thursday.
