Proud of this new Marine

It was the best tasting cheese spread he's ever had. Taken 12 hours before becoming a Marine. Take nothing for granted.

Last year at the Central Training Area in Okinawa, Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit took part in simulated raids. These exercises trained Marines to become a flexible, lethal, fighting force capable of adapting to any environment.

Are you up for the challenge?

Every Marine a rifleman. It isn't just a saying, it's a way of life for all men and women who earn the title Marine. Continuous readiness training allows Marines to maintain their lethality and proficiency in infantry and combined arms tactics. ( photo by Lance Cpl. D’Angelo Yanez)
