Attendees of the 10 Star Social pose for a photograph

Attendees of the 10 Star Social pose for a photograph Dec. 6 at the Butler Officers’ Club. The name of the event is derived from the number of U.S. Marine generals in attendance. With the high operational tempo of III MEF, it can be difficult for senior officers and enlisted to gather together in a social setting. The event brought together these groups, strengthening the command element of III MEF by creating a more cohesive team. The guests, from left to right, are Melinda Faires, the 18th Wing housing flight chief; Lt. Gen. John Wissler, commanding general of III MEF; and Finnigan Higa a prominent Okinawa resident.
