An F-35B Lightning II takes off on the flight deck of USS Wasp (LHD-1) during routine daylight operations, a part of Operational Testing 1, May 22. The F-35B is the future of Marine Corps aviation and will be replacing three legacy platforms: The AV-8B Harrier, the F/A Hornet and the EA-6B Prowler. The F-35B is with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501, Marine Aircraft Group 31, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing.

Two F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters complete vertical landings aboard the USS Wasp (LHD-1) during the opening day of the first session of operational testing, May 18, 2015. As the future of Marine Corps aviation, the F-35B will eventually replace all aircraft from three legacy Marine Corps platforms; th AV-8B Harrier, the F/A-18 Hornet, and the EA-6B Prowler. The aircraft are stationed with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501, Marine Aircraft Group 31, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, Beaufort, South Carolina and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121, Marine Aircraft Group 13, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, Yuma, Arizona.

U.S. Navy Capt. Michael Monreal, speaks to Marines and sailors with III Marine Expeditionary Force and Marine Corps Installations Pacific to discuss the importance of saving energy in the work place and at home during an interactive briefing Feb. 26 at the Camp Foster Theater on Okinawa. “We have got to be able to translate this energy-saving ethos when we’re going forward and when we are in garrison,” said Monreal. “It’s a way of thinking about conserving energy to keep the water and energy flowing.” Marines are encouraged to create energy-friendly habits, such as unplugging electronic devices not in use and turning off a vehicle while waiting for the command to move forward. Monreal is the assistant chief of staff, and director of facilities, GF, Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan.
