The Marlins spent the day visiting different units around the station, signing autographs and spending time with Marines while learning about what Marines aboard the station do every day. Armed Forces Entertainment gives professional athletes, comedians and other entertainers the opportunity to visit American bases and stations outside the continental U.S. This is the fourth AFE trip the Marlins have conducted and their::r::::n::first time visiting the Pacific region. Everywhere the Marlins went they were greeted with open arms by Marines who were more than willing to share stories about their daily lives, but::r::::n::most importantly to get to spend time with the visitors. The Marlins signed autographs for service members and a baseball for the commanding officer of each unit they visited. After::r::::n::visiting several units aboard the station, the Marlins went::r::::n::to the Penny Lake baseball field where the Mermaids practiced and performed a dance routine with resident children while the players played a mini-softball game with other children. AFE::r::::n::organizes approximately 120 yearly trips that entertain::r::::n::approximately 500,000 troops.
