When i get out of high school i want to be a Marine. I want people to be proud of me.
You can do many things to make people proud of you. The most important is that you be proud of you. Having said that, being a Marine is a pride only a few know and is not gained by small sacrifice or a good decision .

Marine Memorial Tattoo is a great tribute tattoo for Marine Corp soldiers.
I like the one with the bull dog. The Marine Devildog. That’s very awesome looking one.
There is no such thing as Marine Corps soldiers! There are U. S. Marines and there are U.S. Army soldiers. There is a difference.
marines are never called soldiers ! as a matter of fact I consider it disrespectful. I would appreciate people learning the proper term. weare called MARINES. thank you
That is absolutely correct. Marines are NEVER referred to as soldiers and is absolutely a insult.
You’re right Michael ! A big darn difference !
The one labeled “bootcamp tattoo” yeah, those are definitely cannons not screws. …but thanks for honoring us with this post.

Now that I’m coming up onto my 66th birthday (1948-07-20), I want to proudly display my birth rights as a marine by adding another USMC tattoo on my right arm to cover up a bull shit pitch fork I had put there when I was about 13 years old.
“Angry face with cross-screws”? Thats a bulldog with cannons…USMC Artillery.
I got my USMC tattoo when I turned 55, and its a great statement of my love of Country and Corps. Semper Fi!!
