"Harriet Tubman seen as the "Moses" of the American military she fighting for pure heart no slavery etc advancing the kingdom of heaven. The marine corps coming into Mexican territory does opposite of what anti empire would want becareful Marines surrounded by anti republic. Small branch wants to remove the Mexican identity of so many Hispanics. Use Hispanic drill instructors to attack younger Hispanic youth. Fix your eyes on Jesus where does my help come from the Lord of Heaven. Any young man journey with this empire is His relationship with Christ especially in the Marines specifically will target native American young men. That Mexican American young men will go through pain sometimes unfortunately the ultimate price for a family. Price for a family under a empire for love. How great love is that father would lay down his life for his son. Be on guard from evil. American empire is Goliath warrior heart comes out with faith defeats sin. Goliath is like sin. Fix your eyes on Jesus Christ seek the kingdom of heaven."
"Don’t join the Marines or the military in general. If you have access to going to school with the colleges having free tuition aid and community colleges having your first two years free, then do that instead. There’s a lot of sick people, thugs, delinquents, juveniles, and kids with rough backgrounds that join the Marines. They have no self control, always getting into fights or causing them; I can’t even tell you how many times I got beat up by young gangsters in my platoon. Thief runs wild and people have no sense of personal space because they’re always pushing and shoving you around. The drill instructors are no help and will worsen your day by pulling your cover down your temples of your head (which by the ways caused me many headaches and migraines in the training company). Not to mention the fact that the new Marines (who are technically still recruits in MCRD until graduation) have the Biggest egos and think their better than everyone else just because they earn the eagle, globe and anchor. They literally treat the incoming recruits or any recruit still in training like garbage. It’s really annoying a matter of fact and irritating. Go to school, get yourself an honest job; don’t rely on the military or the Marines as a way out. Those people aren’t worth your time or your life."
"I was lucky enough to stay here back in 1995. The hotel shuttle picked us up at the airport and brought us right over to a reception that lasted anywhere from three to five days during which we got haircuts, a phone call home to let everyone made it safe, and we were even given resort garments to enjoy for our whole stay! Forget a gym! This resort had physical fitness experts that led us in stretches, light runs, water aerobics, and nice hikes at their nature preserve located an hour North of the main resort! To top it off, this was an all inclusive resort! All meals and drinks included! If you get the opportunity to choose your bungalow, I highly recommend the Hotel Hell accommodations! Lovely view of the palm tree lined common area near the Grinder. Ask for Gunny Serrano, he’ll keep the light on for you!"
"The introduction off the bus is amazing. All the employees come out to greet you and are very welcoming. They immediately grab your luggage for you and have you call home to tell your family you are safe, in good care. They give you top-notch haircuts and clothes to look good when you arrive. You will love the beautiful rooms and beds they have for you. The morning breakfast is definitely to die for made by world-renowned chefs. 10/10 dream vacation"
"Where Marines are born! Recently visited after more then 29.5 years. Seeing the grinder and my old barracks was a step back in time full of emotions. The museum has been upgraded with much more then I remember, the old section (tge original part) still the main focus. Many young Marines seeing family again after 3 months apart. Brings back memories."
