Unit 3092 Flag - Full Metal Jacket

 

They are the few, the proud, the US Marines.  The colours of the military branch is red and yellow.  You can see the livery of the colors within the training platoon 3092.  1987 was year that public got an up close and personal view of how the Marines train.  

Leaning to dance with the angel of death is privilege.  Taking on this responsibility requires a certain amount of training and is a heavy burden on the heart and soul.   Harsh language and being called mean names is the least of one's worry when one is assigned with ending the life of another.   

The flag 3092 is in the background.  Make no mistake you can thank a marine for the freedoms you enjoy.  They are the muscle of America that does the bidding of the people, often at first contact to push the enemy out of the way.
