WHAT CLIENTS SAY?
"There's a mindset of flexibility and adaptability that comes with us. We don't mind hardship. We don't mind somebody saying, 'Go in and do this nasty job'.
Whatever the job is, we can do it. That's why the nation has a Marine Corps"
"We think of the Marine corps as a military outfit, and of course it is, but for me, the US Marine Corps was a four-year crash course in character education, it taught me how to make a bed, how to do laundry, how to wake up early, how to manage my finances. These are things my community didn't teach me"
"We had it drilled into us time and time again, 'if someone above you falls, grip tightly to the vertical rope and cradle that person in your arm until help can get to you' .... if someone falls down on me i swear i would have bitten him on the ass and would keep on biting until he got off on his own
