So what are you all standing around gawking at? It's just another leatherneck doing his job as he sees fit.

Great story. Reminds me of that Cuba Gooding Jr./De Niro movie ("Men of Honor"?).

"Great story. Reminds me of that Cuba Gooding Jr./De Niro movie ("Men of Honor"?)."

Which was based on a TRUE story.

Makes you proud to see a MARINE live up to the Corps,
and to see the Corps take care of it's own.

I guess one of the USMC recruiting posters I saw a while back says it all...it was a head and shoulder photo of a young Marine in dress blues and all it said was:

"'THE CHANGE IS FOREVER"

Semper Fi!!!!!!

Look, a marine made it through jump school.

Wonder if I can get his resume?
