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.

The Legacy of 250 Years: How the Marine Corps Made Me a Good Man and a Better Woman

The icy Afghan wind cut through me as our convoy wound its way across the Shomali Plain north of Kabul. Gripping the belt-fed machine gun mounted on the turret, I anxiously scanned the low, khaki hills for any sign of threat.

The Marine Corps Exchange by James P. Connolly

I was in an Infantry Battalion tucked away in the hills at Camp Pendleton in the late 80’s/early 90’s. The only Marine Corps Exchange I set foot in was the mini one we had at Camp San Mateo and only for the Marine essentials: Brasso, boot blouses, moleskin, uncomfortably small PT shorts and Red Man.
