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
Sad occasion when I last got into my blues to attend the funeral of my best friend who was also a DI at SDiego. He was in Iraq as a civilian contractor with DynCorp and one year later he was home and dead of a fast moving cancer.
My son Chase was 5 months old at the time of this picture. Thought you'd enjoy seeing the blues bib put to good use. A lot of what he wears comes from your supply shack. Semper Fi and Happy Holidays.
Hello Sgt. Grit, just a quick thank you for all you do for Marines Past and Present. I usually read your news late at night and yes , well up some. Guess you can call it pride… for Country, Corps. I graduated from 2d Recruit TrngBn, MCRDep, Parris Island, S. C., Co. K. Platoon 204, April 1964.
I was driving through town the other day, stopped at a traffic light and the guy next to me honked his horn so I rolled down the window. He said he was following the four best bumper stickers he has ever seen through town and just wanted to thank me…I told him I would cover my truck with them to let people know how I feel, but I thought this would be a good start..Thaks, Sgt. Grit for the great products…
Howdy Grit. This is a pic of a friend of mine that supports the Corps. She writes to a Marine L/Cpl in-country that she has never met and sends him packages regularly. It's great that we have people in this country that will do that. I sent her one of your items that I think she looks marvelous in. It might be useful for your ads. Semper Fidelis.

THANK YOU and SEMPER FI
Sgt. Grit:
After looking through your latest catalog for rank decals, I didn't like the size specified, and also didn't find any "hash marks". So, I ordered the Dress Blue chevrons and service stripes I needed and "crazy" glued them to some magnetic material I found. So far, they have held up in the weather here in middle Tennessee. Semper Fi

Sgt Grit,
On the way to this years Marine Corps Ball, this retired devil dog stopped to check his mail. How wonderful it was when he received his favorite catalog. Dress blues are very appropriate when receiving a SGT GRIT catalog. This photo was neither fixed or set up in any way. I thought it would be a great shot of my best friend, MSgt Joe Diaz, USMC, retired, checking his mailbox in his dress blues. It was a lucky shot. A great start to great ball.
