Nevada native, U.S. Marine deploys to Australia

description

Summary

U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Alondra Perez, warehouse management specialist, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, participates in the planning of MRF-D 20.2 on Royal Australian Air Force Base Darwin, in Darwin, NT, Australia, June 10, 2020. A Las Vegas native, Perez keeps accountability and manages the distribution process of gear needed throughout MRF-D.
“I am the oldest child in my family so I already had that pressure of being the role model and being the best, so I couldn’t join any of the other branches. I was told many times when I was in the process of joining that I wouldn’t be able to do it, girls couldn’t do this and that. All the females that I know in the Marine Corps still get it sometimes. I’m the type of person that says, 'Oh [you] bet, now I want to do it because you don’t think I can.' That’s the biggest reason why I joined. But the Marine Corps was definitely something that I needed. With everything I was going through before I joined, without the Marine Corps, my life would’ve gone a completely different way.”
MRF-D enables U.S. Marines and the ADF to enhance regional security, strengthen alliances, and partnerships, and increase the ability to rapidly respond to crises throughout the region.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
