Pfc. Guerby Destine, 22, number two cannoneer with 1st Battalion, 12th Marines and a Westbury, New York, native, drives the teleoperated Navy/Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System launcher, Remotely-Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires, aboard Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands, Hawaii, Aug. 15, 2021.
