🚮 Making a difference, one bag at a time!

More than 50 volunteers from Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Twentynine Palms have joined our Adopt-a-Highway effort, helping remove over 80 pounds of trash from the local community so far. Held on the last Saturday of every month, the program is a great way to support environmental stewardship while keeping our desert home clean and beautiful.

Thank you to everyone who continues to give their time and make a positive impact both on and off duty!

☀️ Desert sunshine is part of life in Twentynine Palms—but protecting your skin should be too.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, and early detection can make a significant difference. TRICARE covers skin cancer exams for eligible beneficiaries with certain risk factors, including a personal or family history of skin cancer and increased sun exposure.

If you notice a new or changing mole, unusual skin growth, or have concerns about your skin health, talk with your primary care manager about whether a screening is right for you.

🐕 Treating four-legged warfighters

Hospital corpsmen at Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Twentynine Palms recently expanded their lifesaving skillset during a Canine Tactical Combat Casualty Care (K9 TCCC) course led by Army veterinary personnel.

The training introduced corpsmen to canine trauma assessment, hemorrhage control, airway management, and casualty stabilization techniques used to provide emergency care to injured military working dogs in operational environments. The joint training strengthened readiness, enhanced interoperability, and reinforced the critical role corpsmen may play as the first line of medical care for military working dogs in the field.

Military working dogs serve alongside service members around the world in missions ranging from explosive detection to force protection, making their care an important component of operational readiness.

"Canines play a big role in the military whether it's sniffing bombs or any sort of drug bust. So, it’s only right to treat them like they're one of us.”
— Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Jaeden Masse

“I think the military as a whole can only improve when different branches and specialties work together and learn from each other.”
— Army Spc. Amelia Knosp, Animal Care Specialist

During the session, he spoke with Sailors and command leaders about accountability, mentorship, readiness, and leading through change while reflecting on lessons learned throughout his Navy career.

His visit reinforced the command’s commitment to developing resilient, mission-focused leaders across the force.
