    About the United States Marine Corps:
    The Marine Corps defends the people of the United States at home and abroad. Within every Marine is the willingness to engage and determination to defeat any adversary, and it is this fighting spirit that allows us to fight and win our Nation’s battles.
    The mission of the United States Marine Corps is made up of three promises: We make Marines, we win our Nation’s battles, and we develop quality citizens prepared to fight and win battles.
    You don’t join the Marines-you become one, forged in the crucible of training aboard our recruit depots on Parris Island, South Carolina, and in San Diego, California, or through the dedication required of officer candidates at Officer Candidates School in Quantico, Virginia. Beyond the physical requirements, aspiring Marines must prove they have the honor, courage, and commitment to face and defeat any obstacle.
    Today, more than 180,000 enlisted Marines and 23,000 Marine Officers serve in active duty or reserve forces on bases and in communities around the world, proudly carrying with them the core values of the Marine Corps.

He was first deployed in da nang and had some wild stories - found his bff there who told me some more grim ones. Thank you for your service, soldiers don’t have it easy 🙏

I tried so hard not to cry, single tear ran threw my cheek 😅 then I lost it on the bus ride back to the company. I couldn’t hold it in. I was so happy and relieved that I finally made it as a split op. One of the proudest moments in my life.

    I was discharged honorably from the Corps two weeks ago, after 5 years of service. I find myself reminisicng about it already. To any young man questioning whether or not to join, consider all your options before making the choice. You'll make amazing memories and life long friends, but also encounter some of the most challenging hardships of your life. I'm starting to feel the struggle to fit back into normal life, but I know im not alone. Semper Fidelis to all my devil dogs, in past, present, and future

    Was the proudest day of my life when my son graduated boot camp. He told me that when they said this oath and were presented with the EGA, even the toughest of the tough had tears in their eyes! They all knew they had done it! They were Marines! They went through the toughest weeks of their lives and came out on the other side as United States Marines! To all future Marines, If you work hard and believe you can do it...and of course their is no such thing as a former Marine! Semper Fi!
