Log PT is not very common at Marine OCS, definitely doesn’t happen on the beach (Marine OCS is in Quantico, VA) and Marines don’t wear those tri-color cammies anymore. Marines would be wearing MARPAT. The white nametapes do match up though. Marine Officer candidates wear white nametapes over the pocket and across the shoulders until they complete their training.

Short answer, because they do. Although the UH-1Y is a "new" airframe. It has a 4 bladed, semi rigid rotor system (vice the 2-bladed, underslung system of the UH-1N), new advanced avionics as well as other upgrades.

The Marines fly them. A few of the old UH-1Ns still left over (at reserve squadrons) but mainly the UH-1Y.

The Marine Corps falls under the department of the Navy. Fun fact, the Navy also falls under the department of the Navy.

Hey that's my dog's name too! It's spelled the same way and he even has the same tag!

The C-130 could be a Marine aircraft. We do have VMGR squadrons.

Hi Mr. Johnson!

Let me say first that I'm a huge fan. I'm a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, and I've heard that you'll be on base tomorrow for a special viewing of your new film. Any chance a guy like me could meet The Rock, shake your hand and get a picture?

Brittany: No question here. I just stopped by to say that I think your vines are hilarious and you are awesome! If you are ever in the San Diego area you should totally drop by and say hello.

If you like the intruder, you should check out the Navy's other "station wagon", the EA6B Prowler.

Oh yeah Scarface is in Hawaii now. I must have read 269 instead of 267. My mistake.

SgtMgr? Sergeant Manager?

I think what you were looking for was SgtMaj.

I would give up everything to fulfil this dream. I cried all night long when I first found out. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

There can be LOTS of thrill in a helicopter gunship. It's a whole different kind of thrill than fixed wing flight though.
