Rick Mulvey
Alex Quiles
Rick Mulvey, son of Julia and Francis Mulvey, and Alex Quiles, son of Jane Mulvey and Herb Quiles, are second cousins, but have never met before. That changed in October 2012 when Rick ended up at Lashkar Gah, Afghanistan, at Camp Leatherneck USMC Base. Rick was assigned as a civilian contractor to the base and Alex was there as a USMC combat photographer. Rick said "we were actually attached to the same command, and all the guys I worked with knew Alex". They met on several occasions prior to Alex rotating back to the states in January after his deployment. Alex is currently at Mirimar Marine Air Station, California. Rick continues with his assignment at Camp Leatherneck. They hope to meet again stateside in the future. As a sidenote, Rick said that "the young men and women in the USMC are really a wonderful bunch. Alex is a great guy.
The group nicknamed me OG for old guy".
