Hospital Corpsman Second Class (Fleet Marine Force) Lea Graciano learned both motivation and discipline were essential in earning her certification from the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) as a Medical Laboratory Technician. “Showing up every day, putting in the work, allowing myself to fail and learn,” said Graciano, a native of Los Angeles, California, about the key to her success. “Most of all, staying committed to my goal even if it was challenging.” Graciano serves as a Laboratory Medical Technician aboard Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Cherry Point.

Thinking outside the booth: Walter Reed brings portable hearing readiness technology directly to the service member

BETHESDA, Md. — Hearing and auditory fitness for duty are critical for a service member’s readiness.

Traditionally, this means service members must travel to a clinic and use a multi-person testing booth.

Where the Girl Saved Her Brother: Honoring 150 Years the Battle of the Rosebud

Lame Deer, Montana — On June 17, Pfc. Kingsley Kuka, an inpatient pharmacy technician at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, welcomed attendees to the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Rosebud at Rosebud Battlefield State Park. The anniversary included a wreath-laying ceremony which served as a centerpiece of the event, bringing together representatives from multiple tribal nations, members of the Kobold family, Myron Red Sleeves and Kuka, who represented both the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and the U.S. Army. To understand the significance of the occasion, one has to know some of the history of the region. Looking across the rolling ridges and sweeping grasslands of southeastern Montana, where vast buffalo herds once roamed, tribal nations returned to the land their ancestors called "Where the Girl Saved Her Brother" to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the Battle of the Rosebud.
