The difference between American trained military and most others? Initiative. Everyone is taught to take the initiative in the absence of orders and get it done. God bless these young Marines, very well done!!!

Meritorious promotion to L/Cpl for all these Pfcs, no doubt.

Semper Fi!

“This is a perfect example of Marines being Marines 24/7,” said Lt. Col. Andrew Niebel, 43, from Silver Spring, Md., battalion commander of 1st CEB, 1st Marine Division. “Even after the uniform is taken off they are still living up to Marine Corps standards.”

It's refreshing to hear "management" praising the brave action instead of some corporate idiot terminating someone's employment for doing the right thing.

From a 24-year Air Force SNCO; "Go Marines!"

Great stories about Great Americans like these guys helps me to put in the proper perspective the pissed off feelings I have after my Crimson Tide lost to South Carolina yesterday.

“Current and former military trained folks are our greatest assets. Willingness to do what most are not willing to do.”

That’s what the Department of Homeland Security is worried about. :)

GOD BLESS, Well done.

Oh by the way mac daddy would have done the same but he was busy elsewhere, Golfing, On Vacation and if it was on a Sunday he was at church.

Great post - thanks.

My pleasure. I can’t take credit, though — I “borrowed” ;-) it from someone who posted it on Facebook. Glad you all liked it!

GREAT story, thanks! I added a few kew words...;~)

[rabidralph]

Yeah, I used to get yelled at in my civilian job for taking the initiative. So now, I’ve stopped :-(

“And the brave get knocked out of their vote wherever and whenever possible while serving overseas.”

Only because the rest of us sit on our worthless hands and letting the scumbags get away with it. No one’s fault but our own.

Semper Fi.

[Lurker]

Yep. Semper Fi right back.
