On our travels back home, the Antelope Valley Young Marines made a few stops along the way! It was a great opportunity to explore, learn, have some fun, and make even more memories together before heading home. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

Antelope Valley Young Marines proudly participated in Palmdale's National Night Out!
Our Young Marines did an outstanding job manning our booth, engaging with members of the community, and representing our unit with professionalism and pride. Throughout the evening, they practiced their elevator speeches while building their public speaking skills, confidence, and leadership abilities.
We are incredibly proud of how they interacted with the public and showcased what the Young Marines program is all about. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit us and support our unit!

8.1.26 – Drill: A Glimpse Into Our Day

Today's drill began with PT led by Mr. Mejia. Even though everyone was tired, our Young Marines pushed through with determination and gave it their all.

The day was packed with DDR, classroom instruction, and Close Order Drill (COD). Despite temperatures reaching 107°F, they stayed motivated, worked hard, and demonstrated outstanding resilience.

We are proud of their dedication, discipline, and commitment. Great job today, Antelope Valley Young Marines!

What would an encampment be without a little friendly competition? 💪
The Adult Volunteers vs. Young Marines Tug of War is always a crowd favorite! It's a chance to build teamwork, share some laughs, and create memories that everyone will be talking about long after the encampment ends.
