Sgt Grit is a place where Marines can come and meet other Marines, share tattoos and stories, keep up with Marine Corps news, or shop for USMC gear.
Sgt Grit and Sgt Williams,
Please see the photos of the delivery of the items you donated to
the Baltimore Station on 12/19/2012. It was a huge success! The
items were met with smiling faces and plenty of "OOOHHH-RAHHH'S"
and then the grizzled ole Gunny (in the wheel-chair) quietly
said, "Marines take care of Marines."
I saw the picture Chuck Wanamaker sent of his kids at the Marine
Corps Marathon and thought I'd brag a bit myself. Here's a
picture of two darling daughters at the finish!

I was assigned to 2nd ATs (Ontos) in Camp Lejeune, NC back around 1961… My question: Does anyone out there know of a website about 2nd ATs? Also is there a patch designed of the 2nd ATs? I would appreciate any feedback on my research. Thank you all. My e-mail is: griffithusmc[at]msn.com
Hello to all,
My name is Farran Fullilove, I went to bootcamp in July-1967 at PI. PLT. 2022. I can't find anyone that has a book of that time or any pictures at PI. Please Help if you know of any one that has a book or any pictures of Plt. 2022, 1967 Please send them my way. I will pay to have a copy of the book made. Thank you for your help.
I was wondering why I can not find any information related to the USMC scuba divers that were in C- company 3rd or 1st MP Battalion Viet Nam 1967 to 1970. We helped in guarding the bridges from China Beach to Da Nang. Attached are a few pictures of me and some of the other divers. Would love to hear from anyone who was part of the team. Thanks!
Sgt. Grit,
To supplement my earlier letter to you I am enclosing a photo of
Leathernecks at Parris Island… and a photo of me… "MacMan".
Semper Fi!

I'm an ageing F-4 enthusiast resident in the UK who is currently researching the history of VMFA-334 (F-4J Era '67/'71 at El Toro/Da Nang/Chu Lai/Iwakuni). I've attached a couple of pictures from some 1969 cruise books. They show the wreckage of F4J 155744 WU-12 which was recovered from Da Nang Bay – it crashed in 1968 but happily both crew ejected and were rescued. Why would it have been recovered? Who would have salvaged it? Does anyone have a photo of it in one piece?
