Forged in Brotherhood: Marine Recon Foundation and MTNTOUGH Strengthen the Warrior Spirit

There is a moment every Recon Marine understands. The ramp drops, the air stills, and the noise fades until only training, trust, and purpose remain. That space between chaos and control is where Reconnaissance Marines live, and it is the spirit behind a partnership between MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab, a proud MCCS partner, and the Marine Reconnaissance Foundation (MRF).

Capturing the Bonds of Brotherhood: How a Camera from the MCX Preserved My Marine Corps Memories

When I first joined the Marine Corps back in 2005 at the age of 18, it wasn't the promise of large paychecks that drew me in.

Jordan 6 Rings, Marine Traditions, and the 250th Birthday

The Marine Corps Exchange (MCX) has always been more a magical place of escape from Drill Instructors during Boot Camp and a source for bargain shopping as a paycheck-to-paycheck living young Marine. Once I learned the benefit of sticking to a budget and saving for purchases the MCX grew dramatically in my spending strategy.

LtCol Lindsay L. Rodman on the Tradition That Brings Marines Together

Like many other Marines, my favorite part of being a Marine is being among other Marines. Marines understand a part of me that my kids and my husband think is sometimes silly (that’s the kids) or sometimes crazy (that’s my husband). I love them more than anything, but sometimes I also need to be a Marine, celebrating with other Marines.

From the 214th to the 250th: A Marine’s Journey Through Birthday Celebrations

I feel there is no way to fully capture the vastness and depth of the Marine Corps’ meaning to all those who have earned the title Marine. But as I reflect on when I celebrated my first Marine Corps Birthday as a motivated, inspection-ready, School of Infantry student aboard Camp Geiger in Jacksonville, North Carolina, I devoured the “Chow Hall” lobster, steak, baked potato, and green beans.

Celebrate 250 Years of the Marine Corps at MCRD San Diego’s Boot Camp Challenge

Inside, 17,000 recruits face one question annually: Do you have what it takes to be a Marine?

250th Marine Corps Celebration

I remember walking into the recruiter's office and the Master Sergeant said to me, "I see it in you, what's holding you back?" It's amazing how words like that can carry so much weight and propel you forward...until you get to Boot Camp. You learn a lot in Boot Camp, but the biggest lesson you learn is that “I” and “Me” no longer exist.
