U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Michael M. Rasmussen, assistant operations chief with Marine Air Group (MAG) 12, shows Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force aviation students an F/A-18C Hornet during a Junior Officer Exchange Program visit at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, June 21, 2017. Students came from Ozuki Air Base to learn about MAG-12 and the F/A-18. They familiarized themselves with the aircraft during the visit by taking part in a flight simulator and by visiting a static display. Hosting the cadets helps them understand the relationship Japan holds with U.S. Marines.
