Marines Need Dedicated Medivac Birds

…more than six decades after Iwo Jima, consider the fact that Marines still do not have a dedicated medevac helicopter—a nicety of war that is all about saving limbs and lives and that Soldiers have had for many years.

It is time to change medevac doctrine for the U.S. Marine Corps-Navy team. The doctrine is an anachronism that serves no one very well, least of all the Marines who fight on the front lines and display such incredible valor.

Step up your workout with USMC Running Cadence MP3s

Posted by Jack Sinclair in Training, Training Tools on 25/Jun/2010 02:39

From by John P:

“I recently acquired a bad ass treadmill as part of an effort to get back in shape (more on that later), and I went searching for some USMC cadence MP3s to listen to while I run. They were harder to find than I thought they would be, so I figured I would share them here in case anyone would like to hear them.

These work songs are sung while a platoon is running in formation and let me tell you – they are motivational. When you hear 80 sets of boots pounding the ground in unison while 80 Marines sing cadence it is a site to behold.“
