Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 2 Marines prepare to take off into the Slocum Creek during the squadron’s family day canoe race Aug. 5. A few hundred Marines, sailors and family members cheered on as the VMAQ-2 Marines paddled through the brackish water, some capsizing. VMAQ-2 returned from a deployment last November and held this event so friends and family could have fun together before the Marines go on another deployment scheduled later this year.
