Lance Cpl. Benjamin R. Nadall, 19, a motor vehicle operator with 3rd Platoon, Combat Logistics Company 111, Combat Logistics Battalion 1, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Fwd), and a native of Dallas, unwinds while laying inside of the weapon mount on the top of his vehicle after a eight-hour re-supply operation through the Al Anbar Province of Iraq. The platoon engages in re-supply missions throughout Al Anbar Province at least three times a week, running operations from base to base to supply other units with what they need to complete their mission, said Staff Sgt. Michael W. Nichols, 30, platoon sergeant for 3rd Platoon and native of Laplace, La. ?The most awarding factor is the fact that I can go home knowing that I did something to better myself and learned a lot about life,? said Nadall, a Dallas, native.
