Pvt. Carlos Paz-Sosa, who was recruited out of RS Riverside, defied all odds & lost over 100 lbs to follow his dream of becoming a U.S. Marine. In November 2022, Paz-Sosa began working out with his recruiter SSgt Larsen, where they developed a strict plan that enabled him to lose enough weight to join the delayed entry program and ship to recruit training shortly after. Paz-Sosa's journey from struggling with weight to becoming a Marine exemplifies the essence of resiliency and camaraderie. His story is a powerful reminder that the path to achieving one's goals is paved with hard work, determination, and the unwavering support of family and friends.

Poolee PazSosa spent the last 1.5 years losing OVER 100lbs in order to pursue his dream of becoming a United States Marine. This is the kind of drive and commitment we are looking for to serve in our ranks! Please help us congratulate the newest member to the RSS Riverside team! 💪🏽🦅🌎⚓️

Please help me congratulate RSS Riversides very own, Lance Corporal Joshua Velasco for graduating as the Company Honorman for Lima Company on December 20th, 2023 💪🏽

He was recognized as the Marine who demonstrated the highest degree of discipline, proficiency, bearing, physical fitness, and basic leadership traits that exemplify the highest standards of the United States Marine Corps.

Our title is earned, never given. Semper Fidelis. 🦅🌎⚓️
