A patriots dream store. Lots of really cool red, white and blue stuff and cool Marine shirts, hats, flags, and plush toys. This is on the MCRD base in San Diego. They have Marine graduations there every Friday if you are in town on a Thursday (family day) or Friday (graduation), it is quite a wonderful event.

Q: Who can attend recruit graduation and family day and is there a limit to the number of people who can attend?
A: Anyone, not just the immediate family of a recruit, can attend recruit graduation and family day. There is also no limit to the number of people who can attend either.
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Marines with the Ground Combat Element, Black Sea Rotational Force 11, spent a few days in the Horno Canyon for urban warfare training using simulation paint rounds as a part of a Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force deploying to the Black Sea, Caucasus and Balkan regions. BSRF-11 has a unique mission to help promote regional stability, build partnerships with host nations and advise military training capacity of European armed forces training with U.S. troops.

US Marines of the 2nd Battallion, 1st Marines Weapons Company take position as others check Afghan men at the check point (unseen) during a patrol with Afghanistan National Army (ANA) soldiers in Laki downsouth Garmser, Helmand Province, Afghanistan on March 3, 2011. One in three Afghan soldiers still leave the army each year, but NATO remains on track to raise the number of security forces to 305,000 by October 2011, an alliance general said. Boosting the ranks of Afghanistan's security forces is a vital element of NATO's plan to begin handing command of the battlefield to Afghans this year, and start withdrawing some foreign troops, with the goal of giving them full control nationwide by 2014.
Taken directly from Wikipedia:
The U.S. Navy designation for the Mitchell B-25 was the PBJ-1, similarly the PBJ-1C and PBJ-1D reflected their AAF counterparts. Night search PBJs incorporated a retractable APS-3 radome scope. Under the pre-1962 USN/USMC/USCG aircraft designation system, PBJ-1 stood for Patrol (P) Bomber (B) built by North American Aviation (J), first variant (-1) under the existing American naval aircraft designation system of the era.
A redo of my standard marines: In olive green!
the camo poncho was and Idea I had while I was watching the pacific. I might try the jungle green pattern for the rain poncho later.

Vintage USMC Truck rough and still running some rust and peeling paint but still kind of neat, found in North Carolina.

Overcome with emotions, Marines mourn the loss of one of their own at a memorial service held here April 19, 2006 for Lance Cpl. Darin T. Settle. A native of Henley, Mo., Settle, 23, died April 14 from injuries sustained in a non-hostile motor vehicle accident in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. He was deployed here as a machine gunner with Transportation Support Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 15. Following remarks by Settle’s friends and coworkers, a 21-gun salute was fired to honor the fallen Marine who was serving his second tour of duty in Iraq. Settle is survived by his son, Wesley Arvin Gage Settle and his parents, James and Ruby Settle.
First off, I hit 200,000 views. Woot woot!
Second, I've been sick (*sigh*), and this batch of photos is a brain barf of stuff i've made over the week...
So this dude is a remake of one of my first dudes I posted on Flickr. I was going through my stream this morning, updating a few of my sets, and I saw this guy again. I still totally dig the design, so I decided to give him a facelift. So... ta-daa!
(And the Zombie fig is in there due to the post-apocaspace genre setting)

My first attempt at a DI. The marpat is so-so. Good enough for a first attempt at Sponge digi camo. my next attempt will be better ;)
(and lol I couldn't find my MARPAT anywhere so I had to use my dads Navy camo.)
EDIT: fixed the arms and the service/name patches.
Took this a little after the blue hour. It was raining quite a bit, so I had to put my hand over the lens when taking the shots. Used Lightroom really work the highlights and shadows on the statue. Also worked on the sky gradient from blue to purple.
Marine maintains his salute while parade rolls by..The Staff Sergeant stood out in the heat for hours
while thousands of motorcycles drove by. The water was given to the Marine
by a Park Police Sergeant, who has originally placed it in front of his
feet. The only time the Staff Sergeant moved was to put the water behind
him so nothing would be in between him and the fallen.
Got to see 6 AAV7s in action this past weekend. :) Was inspired to change some stuff here and there. Austin wanted to play with some Tan/Dark Tan camo, so I let him camo it up. :) We have tried to keep it as close to PA's original AAV7 as much as possible.

US Marines McDonnell F.4S Phantom 155848 at The Museum of Flight, East Fortune, Scotland.
First flown as a F.4J in 1968 for the US Navy, later modified to F.4S standard for USMC use.
An opportunity to see this aircraft temporarily displayed outside due to hangar refurbishment, this classic jet is now back under cover.
Welp, I'm not too happy with the MARPAT overall but on the helmet it turned out not too bad. I had to really shorten the M16A4's stock so it could be held "properly." I feel I should take another photo of it.
Woots! A US custom! So I held a poll previously seeing if you guys prefer me redo a MARpat or do a Multicam, MARpat won, so here you go!
Used to be a US Engineer but I felt nahhh nope. I hardly see any non-Battlefield Marines customs out there, so I decided to do one.
He comes with a M27 IAR, which is fully sculpted ontop of a BA ARC. More pics of it later!
Belt, vest, boots, pockets and pouches all completely sculpted from scratch.
MARpat was tiring but fun to make ;P It's completely freehand, done in around 3 hours, give or take. Might try to do a carved version of it, sometime in the future...
Thanks alot to Jon who gave me advice on the free hand MARpat and the sculpting of the opentop magazine pouch.
Thanks to Richard for helping me with sculpting the M27-IAR.
Tags and groups later, gotta rush to school now!
