Big USMC training exercise on the east coast

[evangilder]

Thousand of Marines will be exercising up and down the east coast of the US this week as part of Exercise Mailed Fist. The exercise is from Virginia to Florida and includes aerial assets in addition to the thousands of troops.

Practice for a big event coming up? There have been some rumblings of something happening real soon.

Wish I still lived where I grew up. Might have been able to see it, who knows.

I have to be careful of OpSec here, so I can't say anything yet, but it may take some completely by surprise.

There have been lots of rumors going around on something possibly coming up.

Hopefully the bad guys! Go get some, Marines!
