Albany-  It's going to be a lot easier for visitors to find the Marine Corps Logistics Center.

Road signs that show the base's emblem will be added to directional signs to help drivers find the base.

"This came about primarily through the Military Affairs committee," said Col. Joseph Wingard, commanding officer at the base. "The problem was identified that people had a hard time finding the base and didn't know how to get there."

After new signs are added, there will be more than 20 directional signs showing the bases location around Dougherty County and Albany.
