Lance Cpl. David Reister, a legal administration clerk assigned to Headquarters and Support Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment keeps his rifle at the ready as he drives the dismount vehicle for the battalion’s Personnel Security Detachment near Fallujah, Iraq, April 29. The 19-year-old from Sacramento, Calif.. thought he’d work behind a desk when he deployed, but instead transports infantrymen throughout the Darkhorse area of operation several times a week through hostile territory. During the months between deployments, Marines from every occupational field participate in combat training on Camp Pendleton, Bridgeport and Twentynine Palms, Calif.

It's nice to see that the Marines still have ST as mandatory OCS reading. :)

MY VOTE IS CHANGE THE NAME TO "PALE HORSE".

Re 6:8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

SEMPER FI AND GODSPEED!
