To live we must have discipline. We must learn this through pain. If we learn this we will live. Enemy blood will fall like rain. And we shall be victorious. Just like our senior Drill Instructor. Senior Drill Instructor Gunnery Sergeant Johnson. He is the shhhhh 3 stripes up 2 stripes down crossed rifles in the center sir.
Got some orders
The next few years of my life will be hanging out in Mirmar, CA unless I can get some deployments

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the springtime, in the merry month of May
And if you asked her why the hell she wore it
She wore it for that young Marine so far, far away

Merry Christmas Chesty!
Hope everyone has a great Christmas. Remember the many brave men and women spending their holiday overseas in Afghanistan. They’re missing the holiday with their family so you don’t have to

I Miss Parris Island
No one ever marches that good anymore. No one is as all about it after it. I feel out I place being squared away and doing thing like I was taught. I want be a drill instructor. I want to be around that discipline again
Got my orders.
Going to Oceana Virginia to learn how to fix F-18 seats. Hope it doesn’t suck as bad as this place did.

Happy Thanksgiving
Make sure you say a prayer for all the men and women of the armed forces who aren’t able to be with their families and be thankful that you’re not in a setting where you have to worry about being shot at or blown up.

Had my first Marine Corps Ball
November 4th.
Its a whole week before the actual birthday but it was still a lot of fun. Our guest of honor was a Dr. Sid Phillips. 87 years old WW2 vet. He fought at Guadalcanal and he’s even had a conversation with Chesty Puller. The thing that blew my mind the most is that his best man was Eugene “Sledgehammer” Sledge. The author of With the Old Breed which some of you...

23 years old and I’m trapped on base thanks to some stupid ass people. For those of you planning on joining the Marine Corps make sure you do the right thing but also be ready to get screwed for your fellow Marines. And learn the acronym BOHICA.
Rules to dating a Marine's daughter
Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you’d better be delivering a package, because you’re sure not picking anything up.
Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter’s body, I will remove them.
Rule Three:
I am aware...

Something that nobody told you
Make sure you learn some cadences while you have the chance. You never know when you will be leading some. I haven’t done it yet, but the opportunity will come up. Especially at MOS school.
I’m amazed at how much I hate the Navy. Man they are nasty.

Joke
A preacher had a teenage son named David and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn’t really know what he wanted to do, and he didn’t seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy’s room and placed on his study table...

Imposters
Hey Sgt. Grit,
My name is Cpl. Sweet, former active duty Iraq veteran and current college student (thanks in part, to the efforts of one Marine, Senator Jim Webb looking out for his “own”). I have a report of yet another impostor. I used to work for a major beverage company on a part time basis stocking the shelves of a major store. One day I struck up a conversation with a young...
