Before recruits step onto the Yellow Footprints at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, they step through the gateway to ensure they’re fit to fight the challenges ahead and the battle against COVID-19. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Ryan Schmid)

As a former Cpl of Marines, don't join and back out while you still can. Read war is a racket by Gen smedley butler. Look up a documentary called" the gray state" about 1h 30m. Do u really know what you signing up for? Look at all the service members that are speaking out. Look at this video b4 u decide to join. Vaccines WILL be mandatory for service members. Research what you are getting into before you join. Don't join because of money, fame, pride. All lies. Search the truth and you will find. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmSrZH6potOhjLs
