Civilian leaders catch a glimpse inside life as a U.S. Marine

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. — Stacey Cunningham, a board member and former president of the New York Stock Exchange, has been a key member of one of the most influential economic hubs in the world. However, during the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference Marine Day at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar on Oct. 28, she removed her mantle of leadership and took on the role of follower. Rather than overseeing operations and making decisions on the NYSE, she experienced a day in the life of a U.S. Marine, from stepping onto the “Yellow Footprints” of recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, to flying on an MV-22B Osprey and firing weapons at MCAS Miramar.
