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.
When I was at P I. Third Bat. 1960, there was a D.I. in our series who called cadence to the Marine Corps hymn. I believe his name was Sgt Baizer. Not real sure of the spelling of his name, but you talk about an eerie scene at dusk on the grinder.

Maybe I didn’t look long enough but I am surprised I didn’t see any of these on here. This is probably the crappiest tattoo I have but I got it out of principal. A friend’s band was playing a summer kick off party at none other than a strip club. After being there an hour I realized what some of the end booths were tattoo artists doing tattoos. I got something on a whim that I had thought about for awhile and figured, Hey $40 for some sh-tty tattoo when I have about $10K worth of work on my body, it doesn’t even matter how bad it looks because how many people do you know that can say they got a tattoo in a strip club? Actually on here there might be a few more but I don’t know any.

Semper Fi,
Recently you had a couple of news items in the newsletter about
Veteran's discounts and different businesses. Here in Texas any
Honorably Discharged Veteran may take his or her DD-214 down to
their local DMV and show it to the person there. Upon showing
their DD-214 and paying a small fee the term 'VETERAN' will then
be added to your driver's license. I've attached a copy of my
license showing the 'VETERAN' notation. You may use it in the
newsletter if you so desire.
SSgt. Charles "Rigor" Mortis was my senior DI at PISC in 1964. He
retired as a Sgt. Maj. with 35 years of service and received the
Bronze Star and Purple Heart. He passed away Feb. 21, 2011. He was
a good man and a good Marine.

Dedicated to my team members and all others who have sacrificed so much in defense of our great nation. The verbiage is derived from Shakespeare’s St. Crispin’s Day speech. It reads- “For he that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother”
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother “When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today” Semper Fidelis
