“I joined the military because my parents were both immigrants. The way I could repay them for providing me freedom was to serve in the military. I will be going to the Army to continue with tanks. I’m going to miss the group of people I’ve met.”
Sgt Adrian Olivias is a tank crewman who has been serving with 1st Tank Battalion.
As the Marine Corps prepares to deactivate tank battalions, join us as we feature some faces of Marines that have been members of the tank community.

I would comment on this thing but I'll let a dude that did it on Instagram speak for me...

jarhead_spartan Can't destroy them from without...must destroy them from within. It's sad watching the decline of the Corps from toxic leadership w bad ideas. Just a mirror of the country under our congressional leadership. Semper Fi?

Who thought this was a good idea?  Don't get me wrong.  The whole thing is batshit stupid from my seat but to highlight the move?  To put this front and center?

Is the Marine Corps trying to make me into an Army cheerleader instead of my once beloved Corps?  Wait.  Is it still my Corps or is it now as I fear the Air & Missile Marine Corps?

Chesty was wrong. 

This is the NEW breed and I don't recognize it as being the Marine breed.
