CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan, July 11, 2012 – It’s like a scene out of “Mad Max” – 2-by-4s and pipes nailed together fill a tent as dirt-covered Marines lug around steel plates and cables. A dip bar, bench press and other gym pieces are the handiwork of Marine Corps Cpl. Frank McDermott, embark chief, Regimental Combat Team 6.
