Teens can join Devil Pup program

The Marines of Fox 2/23 will host the Devil Pup program at 8 a.m. Saturday and June 1 at the Marine Corps Reserve training center, 5095 Range Road, to qualify candidates ages 14-17 for camp.

The program operates under the concept that in spite of the challenges to the youth of today, they can: remain physically and mentally clean, develop respect for themselves, others and the flag, and constitute authority. The program also seeks to develop self-discipline and a sense of responsibility for one's own actions in teenagers under the direction of the Marines' Camp Pendleton, where they will spend 10 days participating in these activities:

For more information, call the Las Vegas Devil Pup Liaison Representative: Sgt. Matthew Fouss at 632-1507, Sgt. Richard Slider at 632-1511 or Sgt. Joe Alvarado at 632-1502.
