Another MCLB civilian marine leaves for Iraq.

Heavy Mobile Equipment Mechanic Anthony Peralta will serve for one year overseas. Peralta moved to Albany in February and says his goal is to support marines.

“I was already working for the maintenance center in Barstow, California so I just thought I could do a little bit more if I went over there,” Peralta said.
There are about 30 civilian marines currently stationed in Iraq from MCLB Albany
