A little about John & Team Jackal-Lanterns
John writes, "My name is John H. Coleman. I'm a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I enlisted on June 6, 2004 out of Hammond, LA. My first duty station was Camp Pendleton, CA from April 2005-May 2009.
While there, I worked at Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS) 39 as an Avionics Electrician repairing equipment from the Huey, Cobra, and Phrog aircrafts. While stationed at MALS-39, I deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from April-Nov 2008. After returning from deployment I completed a Permanent Change of Station to Jacksonville, NC to work at MALS-26. I have been living in Jacksonville, NC since May 2009."
John shares, "I am currently deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom attached with MALS-70. MALS-70 is a unit comprised of 3 supporting units MALS-16, MALS-39 and MALS 26. The official logo for MALS-70 is the Jackal hence the team name the Jackal-Lanterns. The unit is comprised of about 150 Marines."
