Red Cross seeks volunteers
The American Red Cross is currently seeking youth and adult volunteers not only for Red Cross opportunities, but for many other programs on Marine Corps Base Quantico as well. Volunteers make up over 90 percent of the American Red Cross. Volunteer positions are available for administration, disaster preparation, health, safety, education, and assisting in special events in the community. If you are interested in volunteering, call 703-784-3113 or visit our office in Little Hall Room 209.
More gate construction ongoing
Drivers are being urged by base officials to plan for delays and to avoid the gate during non-rush-hour periods until the work is done. The back gate is the closest entryway to the commissary and main exchange.
All drivers must follow MPs’ directions at all times.
From 5 to 9 a.m. on weekdays, traffic at the back gate will be restricted to inbound traffic only. All outbound traffic will be directed to the main gate.
From 3 to 6 p.m. on weekdays, traffic will be limited to outbound traffic only. All inbound traffic will be directed to the main gate.
From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 to 8:30 p.m. during the week, and during all weekends and holidays, gate sentries will alternate one-way traffic for inbound and outbound traffic. It is during these times officials expect delays to be at their worst, so they are recommending drivers use the main gate during those times.
As usual, the back gate is closed to all traffic from 8:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly.
The Quantico Sentry will post updates here as they become available and online at www.quantico.usmc.mil.
