Married Marine colonels to take on separate commands in North Carolina on the same day

During two separate Marine Corps change-of-command ceremonies Friday in North Carolina, Col. Ebitz will take the reins.
In the morning, Col. Amy Ebitz will step in to lead Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installations East at Camp Lejeune. Then in the afternoon, her husband, Col. Curtis Ebitz will take command of nearby Marine Corps Air Station New River. The two bases are about 10 miles apart and each Ebitz plans to attend the other’s ceremony with their two children, Curtis, 12, and Sevina, 8, by their sides.
Married since 2003, this won’t be the first time they’ve commanded a unit at the same time. But it will be the first time that they will assume their leadership roles on the same day.
