Ian Mendez

On October, 2020, I received orders to MCSFR Fast Company Charlie in Yorktown, Virginia. Our task there was security and antiterrorism, protect critical assets, support commanders and fixed-site security. I deployed to Isa Airbase Bahrain, Rota Spain and was attached to the USNS Comfort, a naval hospital ship where we provided all-around security for the ship to sail to South America. On June, 2023, I received new orders to 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment in Twentynine Palms, California as an infantryman. We were ground forces trained to locate and destroy the enemy. I deployed one last time too Okinawa, Japan and Pohang, South Korea.
