Staff Sgt. Samuel Beltram, the training chief with Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, and a native of Fort Worth, Texas, explains the importance of thinking ahead while using robots to students at Lejeune High School, Oct. 3, 2014 aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C. Approximately 60 students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, packed the classroom to hear how the Marines use robotics on the battlefield and how engineering can better people’s lives. The school requested the Marines give the demonstration because the students are beginning their robotics curriculum of the Bio-Tech Department course of study. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
