| photo#14 | |  | After early, heavy rains Oct. 27, the subway to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego's Gate 4 floods to the 8-foot marker at the subway's entrance. The depot was built on marshland in 1919, and because the subway is at sea level less than two miles from San Diego Bay, locals think the combination of high tide and sludge moved by sudden, infrequent rains impairs drains and overworks pumps.

“Since some of my Marines were here, this was where I wanted to be,” the Frankford, Del., native said. “I wanted to be involved. I can take this training back to my unit and push it.”
As an NBC chief with the battalion, Cress leads a team with the goal of training Marines to protect and defend themselves if hit with a chemical attack. He used the instructing courses as a stepping-stone to accomplish this.
