U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Luke Stevens, Non-Commissioned Officer-In-Charge of the 2nd Marine Logistics Group Human Performance Center, and a native of Millington, Tennessee, slaps chalk on his hands to prepare for a deadlift on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, March 27, 2024. Each week, 2nd MLG recognizes one outstanding Marine or Sailor that goes above and beyond in their duties and embodies the qualities of an outstanding service member. Stevens’ outstanding accomplishments resulted in his selection to the Commanding General’s Human Performance Center initiative, where he manages unit scheduling, all logistical requirements, and daily facilities management. His accomplishments in this role include, briefing the HPC capabilities to executive staff and officers, and supporting daily activities that resulted in the training of more than two thousand 2nd MLG Marines and Sailors. When asked what his goals were while being a member of the HPC, Stevens said, “I want to set the example to my fellow Marines and Sailors on how total fitness can better your lives inside and outside of the Corps.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.

U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Alejandra Deleon with 2nd Dental Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, and a native of Houston, Texas, conducts X-radiation imagery on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, March 19, 2024. Each week, 2nd MLG recognizes one outstanding Marine or Sailor that goes above and beyond in their duties and embodies the qualities of an outstanding service member. Deleon is responsible for assisting the Coastal Carolina Hygiene Student program, where she facilitated orientation, coordinated workspaces, and scheduled patients for 41 students helping them become future hygienists. Transferring from her past unit to 2nd Dental Battalion, Deleon felt she had big shoes to fill, she said, “coming here as a newly ranked E-5, expectations here were a bit high,” instead of letting that get in her way, her advice to overcome that challenge was to “ask for help, don’t procrastinate, and keep a positive attitude.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
