When we received orders for Okinawa, Rodney was assigned to 1st Marine Air Wing (1st MAW), which is made up of five subordinate commands. His first attachment was to the smaller Marine Air Control Group 18 (MACG18 or Group 18). For the last year and a half, he was re-attached to one of the larger subordinate commands, Marine Aircraft Group 36 (MAG36).
On May 23, 2013, Group 18 had a change of command. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, so it had to be relocated from the parade ground into the gym, which made for pretty lousy lighting for photo ops!!
The next day, May 24, 2013, was change of command for MAG36. A perfect day for a flight-line parade!!
Being the Command Chaplain for MAG36, Rodney did the invocation.
The troops parade in...
...and line up by unit.
The band performs...
The units parade around...
The outgoing Commanding Officer gives a speech...
The incoming Commanding Officer gives a speech...
Then the exiting parade begins...
...marching past the saluting COs.
