[@cw2gtc]

Chucky This is not your issue to be pissed off about. And by angryly asking “Why bring God into your created wars?” It shows you’re not ready to understand yet, or you would already know.

Sgt rick was my recruiter. Kind of a hard ass but he got me good and ready for bootcamp, ill tell you what!

[@johnathanwalker4559]

He's a combat instructor at mat company for the new IMC program rn! He hates his job and misses the fleet so much. He also has the famous line of "Don't be a bitch" that he says at least once every speech he gives.

[@hchwhat]

Does anyone know why the 1st Lt chose to have that SgtMaj present the award to him? As opposed to the Lt Gen?

[@drob437]

When did 1/7 move to 29 Palms? During the early '80s 1/4 was the only infantry battalion.

[@breadguy2839]

To think people are walking on our flag! Those same people couldn't nor wouldn't walk a block in your boots. Thank you for your service and all you sacrifice so my children can be children.

[@burtonh1]

Why was the last gentleman wearing a suit instead of a uniforms?

[@soloban81]

Knuckle_Bump probably separated from the service before it was awarded.

[@sierra9367]

Wow

[@brandondavis7525]
