Jason Moody

Jason who is also a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps Reserve has almost 19 years of service. He had the opportunity to go to Jordan to participate in an operation called Eagle Lion. Multiple US forces participated in the operation spread across the country of Jordan. Jason’s unit MP CO A was tasked with working with the Jordanian Marine Battalion focusing on Non-Lethal weapons tactics, entry control points, vehicle check points, patrolling in an urban environment, room clearing, and riot control.We thought from time to time we would send out updates on what is going on in the life of the staff or just give out general information about them. This month we wanted to let everyone know that Jason is back from his trip to Jordan.

He also had an opportunity to visit the ancient city of Petra, considered one of the 7 wonders of the world. He shared some of his pictures that are attached below and there is video link to some of the training that was done with the Jordanians.
