Best meal in the Marine Corps by the best MOS in the Marine Corps: Chili Mac, Grilled Cheese, Tomato Soup!
You think about Cooks 3 times a day, twice on the weekends, and 4 times on ship!
It’s not the MOS that makes the Marine, it’s the Marine that makes the MOS!

Airborne All The Way!
NATIONAL AIRBORNE DAY AUGUST 16
National Airborne Day on August 16th honors the military’s airborne divisions of the Armed Forces.
August 16, 1940, marks the date of the first official Army parachute jump at Ft. Benning, Georgia. The successful jump validated the innovative concept of inserting U.S. ground combat forces behind a battle line by parachute. These sky soldiers represent some of the most prestigious and expertly trained forces in the United States

On August 13, 1918, Opha Mae Johnson became the very first female to enlist in the Marine Corps. She was 39 years old at the time and originally worked a civil service job at the Marine Corps Headquarters. From there, she worked her way up and eventually enlisted.
Many other women followed Johnson’s lead during World War I and afterward. She set the stage for women to enlist even before the 19th amendment was passed. Her example allowed many women to drastically help during wartime.
The “Molly Marine” statue in New Orleans was built in 1943 as the first statue depicting and honoring a female in a military uniform.
In 1955, Johnson passed away, leaving behind a groundbreaking legacy.

🇺🇸 "The raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years." (James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy, 23 February 1945.) "Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."
Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima depicts six Marines from Company E, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, raising a U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi on 23 February 1945, which was the second of two flag-raisings on the site that day.
