The body of another Marine was transferred Aug. 5.The caskets will be handed over to their families for final arrangements, the Marine Corps said in a press release.The military is investigating what caused the amphibious assault vehicle to sink July 30 after completing a routine training exercise.
Navy Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Christopher Gnem, 22, of Stockton, was posthumously advanced to the rank of petty officer third class and posthumously awarded his enlisted Fleet Marine Force Warfare Specialist qualification, having met the criteria set by the Navy for both before his death.
