American women have served in the United States Marine Corps with honor and distinction since 1918. Oprah May Johnson was the first of these marines to enlist and serve the Corps. In the beginning, women marines served under clerical duties in the states while male marines were needed oversees. In 1943, the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve was established but in June 1948, Congress passed the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act which will make female marines a permanent part of the Marine Corps. Female marine will then go on to participate in a variety of different theaters of conflict as well as an ever growing amount of military occupational specialties available to them.

Today, female marines serve, train and fight along side their male counterparts in being part of the United States Marine Corps. #womenmarines #womenhistorymonth

“The raising of the Flag on Mount Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years”.- James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy

Today marks the 76th anniversary of the flag raising on Mount Suribachi during the battle of Iwo Jima. This moment become one of the most infamous money’s not only for the US Marine Corps, but for the Allied effort against the Axis powers in the Pacific during WW2. The battle would be one of the bloodiest battles in Marine Corps history. This iconic photograph, taken by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal, shows the second flag raising on Mount Suribachi by 6 US Marines. Three of the six marines would lose their lives during the battle. Sgt. Mike Strank, Corporal Harlon Block, and Private First Class Franklin Sousley. As Marines, we remember and honor the sacrifices of those that have come before us and the history that has cemented the Marine Corps as America’s elite fighting force.

The Oath of Enlistment (or in this case reenlistment) is the beginning of your journey as a United State Marine.

Every Marine raises their right hand and repeats the same words that every Marine has said before them.

It is an important moment in a Marines career and an honor to be apart of the ceremony. Congratulations to SSGT Bradley Pittenger!

Some of what you seek can be found online, but for Marines, the things that matter most must be fought for: a true sense of purpose that comes from knowing you’re part of something bigger than yourself and belonging that’s only found among those who share a common cause. Not everyone belongs in our ranks, but those who do–belong. Be part of the fight.

3 Marine grunts literally stacked up on a bathroom door to pull out a ‘hostile' passenger on an international flight

A quick read!

Three Marines detained a passenger during an international flight from Japan to Texas on Monday — and they did it in the most 'grunt' way imaginable.
