As a young journalist from an unconventional background, I try to keep my finger on the pulse of things that other journalists aren’t covering because it doesn’t interest them or they don’t know about it. That has led me to filing a lot of Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests on things that I think could add to public knowledge about what goes on in Puerto Rico. One such record request led me to getting two presentations from the U.S. Marine Corps about a training exercise conducted between March 14-17 of 2024 in Roosevelt Roads in Ceiba and Flamenco Beach in Culebra.
