The Commandant of the Marine Corps and the Corps' top enlisted man met last week with Marines during respective visits to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, base officials said.

Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway and Sgt. Maj. Carlton Kent visited the bases on Thursday and Friday but requested that their visit be low profile, said Maj. James Jarvis, air station spokesman.

"(Gen. Conway and Sgt. Maj. Kent) briefly visited MCAS Beaufort and MCRD Parris Island Thursday and Friday to visit with Marines and to discuss the future direction of the Marine Corps," Jarvis said.
