Lance Cpl. Everett X. Anderson, Jr., shows a U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps cadet how to look through the sight of an M1014 combat shotgun, April 29, during an open house at the Hopkins Hall Gym, at Camp Allen, Virginia. The Marine open house allowed the cadets to get a glimpse at how a Marine or sailor would train with Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team. During the tour, the cadets viewed different stations ranging from weapon familiarization to combat life saver displays. Anderson is a Houston native and a team leader with Alpha 2, FAST Company, Marine Security Forces Regiment. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Jessika Braden/Released)
