Jarhead Pup

Sgt Grit;

Just wanted to share a photo of my devil dog. His name is 'Jarhead', and he's earned the name. He's currently an E-3, but that's after spending at least 6 months as a boot and being busted at least three times. He comes by his monicer and behavior honestly – he's in a proud Marine Corps family: My father was a Marine before WWII (Pvt Harold Somers), my brother retired after 23 years (MSgt Mike Williams), I did my 4 years, my son served his 4 (LCpl Peter Williams – part with the first outbreak of hostilities in Iraq with the 2/10), and my daughter was a Corpsman (HM3 Mallory Williams). We bleed crimsom and gold. Love your newsletter and eagerly await every issue. Let's see some other "Devil-Pets" and/or mascots – would also like to see some Marine Corps motorcycles. read more

Lil Will

Hello Sgt Grit,

I am a proud Marine Brat and mother of a "Future Grunt". My son (William Price- aka "lil Will") is the son of Gunnery Sgt. William Price and grandson of Col. John Gautreaux (ret). My son was born on November 10th 2006- & could not have made his dad and granddad prouder to have him born on the Marine Corp birthday! He will share this day with pride with the men & women of the Marine Corp. This is a recent pictures of "lil Will" wearing his Sgt. grit "future Grunt" attire, cheering on the silent drill platoon as they performed at the Sea & Sky Spectacular in Jacksonville, Fl. read more

Our lil “Marine”

Dear everyone at Sgt. Grit,

Normally I wouldn't send such personal pictures out like this, but I thought ya'll might get a kick out of our 1 yr old, Matthew. He wasn't feeling too good last night, and my husband was in the middle of making his famous "chili dogs and fries" for dinner when he realized our youngest was trying to make himself comfortable by the stove. As you can see in the pictures, he is dragging is Devil Dogs throw that we bought 2 yrs ago from the Sgt. Grit magazine. That's HIS blanket and it goes EVERYWHERE with him! (YES, everywhere….even my suburban and his daddy's truck). Anyway, thought we would share these pics with you of a determined lil man and his Devil Dogs "blanky". read more
