Please come out to welcome home HN3 Joe Malandro from serving in Afghanistan.
Joe graduated from Haddon Twp. High School 2003. He is 25 yrs old. Joe has been in the military for 6 years.
He first joined the Navy for educational opportunities.
He did boot camp @ Great Lakes followed by Corp School @ Great Lakes.
First assignment was Bethesda Naval Hospital in MD.
Joe then deployed to Djoubouti, Africa with a Marine Sniper unit.
When he returned he decided he was not fulfilling his wartime commitment working in Labor & Delivery at Bethesda, so he then decided to go \”green side\” and went to Camp Lejuene where he went through boot camp…again.
He is now attached to the 1st Battalion 9th Marines (The Walking Dead) and has completed 2 tours with them. One in Iraq (where he missed the birth of his first son) and the current one on USS Ashland LSD 48.
They have spent a lot of their time training Jordon soldiers.
They also spend the first month in Haiti.
