While
serving at Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni, Japan, Marc Walker of Reno was given a temporary duty assignment
under the aquatics division for the Department of Morale, Welfare, and
Recreation. This meant that he was the head lifeguard and assisted the aquatics
supervisor with supervision and management of two large pools and an
Olympic-sized indoor aquatic facility.
It was
through this job that Marc Walker of Reno
first got interested in managing recreational facilities. Marc Walker of Reno would later go on to attain a Bachelor of Science
from the College
of Health and Human Services
at California State University-Sacramento in Recreation Administration with a
concentration in Recreation and Park Management. From this degree he would
continue on to become a Park Ranger at the Mendocino Lake Reservoir and
Recreation Areas for a time. It is doubtless that his assignment under the
aquatics division for the Department of Morale, Welfare, and Recreation spurred
his interest in becoming a Park Ranger.
Responsibilities
that Marc Walker of Reno took on during his time under the aquatics division
for the Department of Morale, Welfare, and Recreation include keeping the
facilities clean, opening and closing the facilities, and administering first
aid and CPR as necessary.
