The United States Marine Corps

[vor033]

I have been fascinated by the United States Marine Corps for a number of years now and there have been some really good Photos on here of the USMC but as far as I can tell there is no thread just for USMC photos on here so thought I would start one.









Lots more Photos to Follow

Now why didn't I think of this!? Excellent initiative vor033. This thread looks promising, and I'm going to call this my new home. All we need now is a Marine moderator to keep this place policed-up and squared away.
