MCCS Happenings 
Obstacle Opener
22 July 2021

Earlier this morning, MCAS Marine Corps Family Team Building hosted their first Obstacle Opener event! Families showed up bright and early to get signed in.

Children 4 and under kicked things off with a small version of the relay. They started with hopscotch and climbing through hula-hoops, and finished with sinking a ball through the basketball hoop. From there they were able to run the course again, or enjoy the bounce houses and coloring activities. Children 5 and older got to run the full relay. Starting with a ladder run and stilts, they were guided through the various challenges. They raced around cones, crawled under wires, and bounced back to the start. In this relay-style competition, children completed one portion of the race, then they tagged the next teammate to run! They kept going until all children finished the race.

Troops Direct Snack & Drink Donation to the Units
20 May 2021

Marine and Sailors from MCAS Beaufort and MCRD Parris Island showed up, at Outdoor Recreation, in large numbers Thursday morning to load up trucks with various snacks and drinks for their units.

The snacks, which ranged from granola bars to sunflower seeds, and drinks including muscle milk and propel water by the caseloads, were part of an incredibly generous donation made by Troops Direct. Established in 2010, Troops Direct has been supplying semi-truck loads of items to Active Duty for 10+ years.

The first such delivery of this magnitude, it was met with great enthusiasm and appreciation by every unit that attended. Many Marines commented that this was well above and beyond their expectations and that they were relieved to be able to provide these items to every member of their unit.

We want to give a huge shout out to Troops Direct for providing drinks and snacks to our Active Duty and event patrons! We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your support of our military community in Beaufort. Thank you for all that you do!
