Welcome to the team Sekou Dawkins!
What pushed him toward the Marine Corps wasn’t just the challenge—it was the drive to become the best version of himself and to be proud of the path he’s walking. For him, this journey is about growth, discipline, and living with purpose every single day.
He’s stepping into a path that demands grit, sacrifice, and courage—but also promises transformation, he’s ready to rise above limits and set the standard.
This isn’t just about joining—it’s about becoming. Becoming stronger, becoming sharper, becoming the man he’s always envisioned.

New chapter. Same mission. Same fire.
Introducing the new Station Commander of RSS Brooklyn:
Staff Sergeant Pillco 🇺🇸
A devoted father, leader, and Marine—SSgt Pillco continues to challenge himself daily to grow not only as a Marine, but as a man, mentor, and role model.
Now officially one month into his new role, his focus has been clear: develop his team of Recruiters and Future Marines physically, mentally, and morally.
Whether in uniform or in life, his priority has always been people. As a Marine, he takes care of Marines. As a recruiter, he’s invested in his future Marines. Now, both responsibilities meet—as he leads from the front and ensures the overall well-being of everyone under his charge.
This is only the beginning for RSS Brooklyn. Let’s get to work. 🔥
