This week we're highlighting U.S. Marine Corps Private John Bernal, one of Recruiting Sub-Station Tempe’s newest Marines.
Bernal says the way Marines carry themselves was the first thing that caught his attention when considering the military as a career path.
Bernal was in the delayed entry program for four months before shipping to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. Bernal graduated Sept. 22, 2023.
“I joined the Marine Corps because Marines value independence and self-improvement in order to help others,” he said.
Bernal will attend Marine Combat Training later this month. He will then attend his schoolhouse for Ground Ordnance and Repair in Fort Lee, Virginia.
“I chose this job because I love repairing things with my father,” he said. “I get my inspiration from my dad. He is a hardworking man. The same values he instilled in me, the Marine Corps values as well.”
Bernal is a first generation Marine and looks forward to a successful career in the Marine Corps that his family can be proud of.
“I really look forward to improving myself, ranking up, and becoming a good leader,” Bernal said.
His advice to those thinking about service is to “just do it.” Not everyone has what it takes to be a Marine, but if you think you do, pursue that calling.
“Boot camp is three months, and in the end, you will be part of the less than one percent,” he said.

Stray Off the Beaten Path
U.S. Marine Corps Private First Class Leon King Jr., an infantryman, is one of the Corps’ newest Marines out of Recruiting Sub-Station Tempe, Az. The Mesa native graduated from Marine Corps Recruit Training San Diego Sept. 22, 2023.
King graduated from Westwood High School. He was a part of the delayed entry program for a little over a year, preparing for recruit training.
King says he comes from a long line of military service, but was the first to take on the challenge of the Marine Corps. That was the motivation for King to stray from the beaten path.
“I wanted to be the first Marine in my family,” he said. “My entire life I’ve ran towards a challenge and I knew the Marine Corps would provide that.”
King says he always avoids the easy route.
“I enjoy the struggle…it feels more rewarding in the end,” he said.
Marine Corps Recruit Training is no walk in the park. King said his biggest takeaway from the experience is the discipline and self-reliance the drill instructors instilled in every recruit on the depot.
“I learned how to do [things] without being told,” he says. “I feel like I became an actual adult, a man, from boot camp.”
King says his biggest advice to someone interested in pursuing the Marine Corps as a career is to first look within themselves for the passion.
“It can’t just be ‘oh maybe I want to go Marine Corps’, you have to know you want to be a Marine and ask the right people the right questions,” he says. “That’s what makes a good Marine, someone who is sure of their decisions.”
King is currently on Recruiter’s Assistance. He is scheduled to ship to the School of Infantry (SOI) West in Camp Pendleton, Ca, later this month. This training marks the transition from entry-level Marine to combat-ready Marine. At SOI, recently graduated enlisted Marines continue their education and training to become more proficient in the fundamentals of being a rifleman.

Celebrating Equality, Breaking Barrier's 💪 ✨
August 26 recognizes Women's Equality Day, established by Joint Resolution of Congress in 1971. The day commemorates the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. The observance has grown to include focusing attention on women's continued efforts toward gaining full equality.
Pictured above is the 2023 Department of Defense’s Women’s Equality Day poster. It depicts the first all-female team of naval aviators to conduct a Super Bowl flyover at the 2023 Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona.
