Congrats to Roman Hite of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. He signed his Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class contract today.
One signature. A new standard. He is now in the pipeline to earn the title of Marine Officer while finishing one of the toughest engineering educations in the country.
That is the kind of decision that separates people who talk about leadership from people who train for it.
Welcome to the fight, Roman. Earn it.

Congratulations to Second Lieutenant Zachary Perkins, who pinned on gold bars today and officially joined the ranks of Marine Officers.
A graduate of Indiana University Indianapolis, he brings the same discipline and drive that carried him through campus straight into the Corps. That foundation will serve him well as he steps into the responsibility of leading Marines.
The Corps gains a strong officer today. Congratulations, Lieutenant. Lead with purpose.

Dad and 3/6 landed on Guadalcanal #OnThisDay 1943 as reinforcements for the final push. He called it truly horrible: pitch-black jungle darkness, Japanese infiltrators in foxholes, mosquitoes/malaria everywhere. No sleep, just survival. #Guadalcanal #USMC 🦅🌎⚓"
#OnThisDay 1991 Marines evacuated 281 from the US Embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia during Operation Eastern Exit. Marines executed the evac using helicopters aboard the USS Guam (pic1) and USS Trenton (pic2). #USMC #SemperFidelis #Marines
#OnThisDay 1928 U.S. Marines participated in the Battle of Quilali, Nicaragua.

VMF-124 on Guadalcanal in February, 1943. Dad and the 6th Marines were there at this time. #USMC
#OnThisDay 1945 VMF-124 & VMF-213 from the USS Essex attacked enemy targets on Formosa & the Ryukyu Islands. This was the first Marine land strike from a US Navy carrier in Marine Corps history.

Happy New Year from Marine Forces Reserve. As 2026 begins, readiness remains the standard—Reserve Marines train, operate with, and prepare every day to answer the call alongside the active component in support of combatant commanders worldwide. #USMC
