🚨SIX SHIPPERS🚨

🦅Today the C**n Rapids Marines send off 6 of our finest to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego for 13 grueling and rigorous weeks. They will be pushed past their physical, mental, and spiritual limits to truly see if they have the grit and tenacity to dawn the cloth of United States Marines.

🌎These 6 Recruits have had constant training and mentorship from their Marine Corps recruiters Sergeant Gunter and Sergeant Sonden . Two of the midwest’s best. I have no doubt that during there time in the Delayed Entry Program they learned what will be DEMANDED on them every single day in recruit training.

⚓️Gentlemen, go out and earn it. Every single day. We expect you all to return as United States Marines in 13 weeks. Semper Fi.

🚨 NEW POOLEE ALERT 🚨
Big congrats to senior Cooper Milbradt on taking the next steps towards earning the title Marine!

Cooper will spend the next several months focusing on graduating high school. Besides that, he’ll be mentored by who is one of the best in the area at ensuring Cooper maximizes his potential and goes above and beyond just being a student in high school.

Challenge is the main reason Cooper chose this path. With challenge comes growth and with growth comes the satisfaction of actually earning what you have in life. We’re going to set him on a path towards success I can tell you that for free.

🚨 NEW POOLEES ALERT 🚨

Congrats to Poolee Holeton and Poolee Santana on making the commitment to earn the TITLE.

These two have had wildly different paths to get to where they are today.

Josh Holeton had bounced around from job to job after high school and nothing really stuck. Paychecks were never guaranteed and meshing with leaders and supervisors was always a challenge. Now he’s surrounded by a support system that will ensure he is on a pathway to success. He first came into the office on December 20th and look at him now.

Carlos Santana has been around for over 6 months. Not everyone is qualified right away which is why it’s important to start the process sooner than later. Carlos hasn’t had the best leadership in his life either. We can’t wait to see where he goes and the undoubtedly successful path he is prepared to go on.

Let’s get it gents. Time to work💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

The transformation➡️

2NDLT Gray

“I joined the Marines because of the challenge and discipline for success. I wanted to serve my country but also go to school to better my education. I used the Montgomery GI bill to help fund school. Purdue Global accepted 57 credits from my Marine Corps training. From boot camp, basic combat training, and military police school. 27 credits were used for electives and 30 credits were towards my major in criminal justice. It has been the most challenging and rewarding decision that I’ve made.”

Christmas Tree✅

Some people wait around for Santa to deliver presents and accept all the free gifts people give them. Instead of waiting for Santa to come down the chimney, we can introduce you to your Drill Instructors. They are ready and willing to hand over the best gift of all, an eagle, globe, and anchor.

Thanks for helping set up the tree!!!!
