Show courage if you have it. We do things every other branch cannot. The question is can you do what we do? Fear or hesitation doesn't sit in our ranks we have no time for that. Step up and be a Marine. . . Posted @withregram • @gysgtwu (at Kansas City, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAUNFG8hhFH/?igshid=isvt3zh5j99y

Boot camp moments | Rappel tower . The Marine Corps rappel tower is meant to provide recruits with the basic skills to rappel from nearly any height, for most real-life experiences this will be out of a CH-53 helicopter. The secondary purpose of the tower is to encourage recruits to trust their equipment and continue to develop confidence in themselves. By this point in recruit training, the recruits will have been exposed to several situations where they MUST trust themselves and their team to succeed .

Golf Company going through the crucible! This is happening NOW . Marine Corps recruit training is the toughest any branch has to offer. We don't promise you an easy time. By this point as a recruit you are giving it everything you have . You are exhausted, dirty, confused and stressed, everything you can expect to face in actual combat if you were to face it except the actual risk of life and limb . We are going to push you harder than you've ever been pushed so you know you can. So you find out what you truly have in the tank to give and know that you are able to do this . At the end of this you EARN your title. U.S. Marine is stamped on your life forever! . If you want to be pushed, if you want to see what you are made of, if you want to earn your place next to me in America's most elite fighting force. Put the link below in your browser, or click the link in my bio, fill out your info and I'll contact you . The first conversation is just to get your questions answered and see if you're qualified.

In 2017 I met Captain Arthur Junior Jackson, who had been awarded the Medal of Honor during World War II at the age of 19. Below is his Medal of Honor citation. . “For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the 3d Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on the Island of Peleliu in the Palau group, 18 September 1944. Boldly taking the initiative when his platoon's left flank advance was held up by the fire of Japanese troops concealed in strongly fortified positions, Pfc. Jackson unhesitatingly proceeded forward of our lines and, courageously defying the heavy barrages, charged a large pillbox housing approximately 35 enemy soldiers. Pouring his automatic fire into the opening of the fixed installation to trap the occupying troops, he hurled white phosphorus grenades and explosive charges brought up by a fellow marine, demolishing the pillbox and killing all of the enemy. Advancing alone under the continuous fire from other hostile emplacements, he employed similar means to smash 2 smaller positions in the immediate vicinity. Determined to crush the entire pocket of resistance although harassed on all sides by the shattering blasts of Japanese weapons and covered only by small rifle parties, he stormed 1 gun position after another, dealing death and destruction to the savagely fighting enemy in his inexorable drive against the remaining defenses, and succeeded in wiping out a total of 12 pillboxes and 50 Japanese soldiers. Stouthearted and indomitable despite the terrific odds. Pfc. Jackson resolutely maintained control of the platoon's left flank movement throughout his valiant 1-man assault and, by his cool decision and relentless fighting spirit during a critical situation, contributed essentially to the complete annihilation of the enemy in the southern sector of the island. His gallant initiative and heroic conduct in the face of extreme peril reflect the highest credit upon Pfc. Jackson and the U.S. Naval Service.” (at Idaho State Veterans Home Boise) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nVUjbBkA1/?igshid=17gtj5yftxr8l

RIDING IN A TANK.... well not exactly. This is from back in July 2017. At my previous unit, Charlie Company 4TH Tank Battalion, I had the opportunity to ride in the M88 on the way back to base from the training area. . What is a M88? Think of it a tow truck for tanks, but it can do so much more than just that. (at Orchard Combat Training Center, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kpxD6hZwO/?igshid=1u9nve6zus5zb
