Mark Serpa-Cardenas, 17, 12th grader in high school, measures pasta noodles at the Combat Center Officer’s Club during the 11th Annual Job Shadowing Event, Feb. 19, 2014. “I enjoyed my time with the Job Shadowing program because it helped me to gain a new perspective on what the military actually does,” said Liz Evans, a 12th grader in high school, who shadowed a Combat Center journalist. “It helped me to further understand my career interest and how they conduct interviews and use different sources. It was useful, and I enjoyed it very much.” (Official Marine Corps Photo By Lance Cpl. Kasey Peacock/Released)
