Marine Corps Pfc. Michael Creason recently completed the Light Armored Vehicle Crewman Course in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.

During the six-week course, Creason received intensive training in the weapons and combat skills necessary to provide infantrymen with the capability of performing offensive and defensive missions that exploit the light armored vehicle’s agility and fire power.

Creason is the son of Marilyn Kelsey, Liberty, Mo., and Ronald Creason, De Soto.
