George Puvel 2010 Parris Island
2009 Tim Eakin at Parris Island
January 2009, The Thurmont Times was offered the opportunity by the US Marine Corp to visit Parris Island to attend the Educators Workshop. The workshop is designed to bring teachers, guidance counselors, and the press together to observe the training of which these courageous young recruits endure. Last year The Thurmont Times sent Business Editor Tim Eakin to observe, and report to our readers the experiences he encountered as a civilian. The Thurmont Times has been invited back for the 2010 Educators Workshop with Fitness Editor and Anytime Fitness Proprietor George Puvel taking the journey. George will arrive on Parris Island January 19th to begin his expedition. If all goes well Mr. Puvel will have an opportunity to interview 2009 CHS graduate, Sean Chilson. Parris Island has the addition of a new drill instructor who hails from Thurmont as well, Stephanie Menendez! February and March will host George’s articles and pictures from the Marine Training Base. George will experience firsthand what these dedicated recruits undergo to be The Few, The Proud-A Marine. A special thanks to Gy Sgt Kelvin Paulk, Sgt Ramirez, and Sgt Genos from the Frederick Marine Recruiting Office for another invitation not only to observe, but become up close and personal with these brave men and women whom keep us free! George, are you up to the fitness challenge?
